These are the new scales of evaluation for public figures.  It does not matter what ivy league school they attended, or which branch of the military they served in.    Black political savvy does not include giving the freed slaves a bit of land to call their own.  Lacking, grade A.  White politicians say “one nation under God” and mean a pimped up slave economy run by sanctified bigots.  Seriously lacking in humanity, political legitimacy, and especially spirituality.

Seriously lacking

I cannot shame the memory of a host of nations pontificating over Israel’s despicable crimes.  For seven days Israel’s racist leaders and policies have been excoriated before the International Court of Justice.   Without exception, the halos of fascism, misogyny, xenophobia and oppression of the vulnerable were adorning the heads of Israel’s accusers.  All were seriously lacking in humanity, political legitimacy and spirituality, but justice had to have her way.  Many of them studiously avoided speaking about human rights: I noticed.
