Thank you for calling this to my attention and that of the other FReepers.
Who in Congress will care?
Only Burton, plus a few whose principles motivate them; don't hold your breath for a second.
Lemme ponder this.
We are so ashamed, as a country, for the terrible way that we treated blacks here in America, that we are bending over backward to avoid criticising blacks anywhere, no matter what they do.
It's how we're currently conditioned. America is suffering the same guilt complex that modern Germany continues to deal with regarding its treatment of Jews 60 years ago.
The guilt is deserved. We ENSLAVED blacks, for pete's sake. And we treated them very badly, at least until 40 years ago.
But now it's as if we're afraid to call someone evil unless they're NOT black. Mugabe, and his supporters in Zimbabwe are evil.
The pendulum has not swung back to objective rationality.
