National Review comments on Raleigh racist

A few weeks ago I posted on remarks by Raleigh racist Kamau Kambon who during a forum at Howard University advocated racial genocide. Most MSM news organizations ignored the story but bloggers, most notably Jon Sanders of the John Locke Foundation, gave it some public attention.

Now, National Review, in its Nov. 21 print edition (paid subscription required), comments:

Participating in a panel at Howard University Law School, Mr. Kamau Kambon offered a solution to the problems facing black people: "We have to exterminate white people off the face of the palnet." Some in the audience applauded! None audibly protested. When this story came out, Mr. Kambon was listed as "affiliated faculty" on the website of the Africans Studies department at North Carolina State University. His name has since vanished from that list. Why race hatred persists is an interesting question in human psychology. What might more profitably be asked is, What on earth was a man like this doing on the faculty of a public university, and addressing a conference at a prestigious law school? And: Why did anyone applaud?
All good questions. But does anyone expect MSM to pursue them?
