Matthews ignored Allen's display of Confederate flag, hangman's noose
failing to respond to former RNC chair's assertion that Allen does not have "a prejudicial bone in his body"

Further, Lizza reported that according to "four former classmates and one former administrator at Allen's high school," "the night before a major basketball game" against Morningside High, a "mostly black inner-city school adjacent to Watts" -- the neighborhood rocked by racially-motivated riots in 1965 -- "Allen and some of his friends" spray-painted "racially tinged" graffiti "meant to look like the handiwork of the black Morningside students." One classmate recalled that the graffiti said "something like die whitey," while the administrator recalled a message of "'burn, baby, burn,' a reference to the race riots" in Watts and riots that followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1968 assassination.

Not a prejudicial bone in his body, yeah right. Maybe all his bones are!

If this is a repost I apologize, I looked for it but didn't see it.
