Why Think, When You Can Blame Everything on “Racism”? In a classic The Simpsons episode, Lucy Lawless hand-waves away every plot hole in Xena: Warrior Princess with the flippant excuse, “A wizard did it”. Every objection is shouted down with, “Wizard!” “Racism” is the “Wizard did it” of the left. As Thomas Sowell observes, in …
As one social media wag observed about the Jussie Smollett hoax, demand for racism in America has so far outstripped supply that the left are having to just make it up.
