… that seems to be the line of thinking these days for most people, as in this case of a father who abused his child to death, via A Small Victory - No One Ever is to Blame. This evil, evil man’s attorney is going to argue that somehow it is not his fault but is somehow caused due to his ancestors being enslaved, oh, about a few hundred years ago. Michele smacks the argument down pretty good in her post and I completely agree with her that I am amazed that this guy’s attorney can actually spew that kind of crap in front of a judge with a straight face. Maybe the next time I feel like smacking a white person, I can do that and then claim that it was because white Britishers lorded it over my countrymen pre-Independence. It is abhorrent that a sadistic father caused his child’s death by abusing him and it is beyond reprehensible for him to try to blame it on anybody else but him.
I hope he fries in hell!

Thanks, Niraj - it does feel good a bit to do something other than constant feeding [the baby] and changing diapers :)

Hmmm, I think that I’ll blame the Aryan invasion for the fact that I don’t change nearly as many diapers as my wife would like.
I’ll blame it for my dog’s bad breath, too…
