A great deal needs to be said and will be said about what the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman phenomenon means about 21st century America.

But what I choose to say with trademark VDARE.com chivalry is that this development is a massive condemnation of the cowardice and rotten judgment of Conservatism Inc – Rich Lowry, David Frum, Hugh Hewitt and so many others – who rushed to condemn poor Zimmerman rather than defy the PC consensus on a racial question.

On the bright side, it got John Derbyshire finally Derbyshired, freeing him to write for us.
