The Washington Monthly - Racial Double Standards

The Washington Monthly: "DOUBLE STANDARDS?....Leonard Pitts:
When a white person screws up, it ignites a debate on the screw up. When a black person screws up, it ignites a debate on race.
The subject, of course, is Jack Kelley vs. Jayson Blair, and Pitts' point is precisely on target.

Has it given them any second thoughts at all?"
