Even though I think that, yes, everyone has a lot of work to do--Whites maybe especially--to open our eyes to what is going on, and what we an do about it in a constructive, equitable, reparational way.

How about reparations for coal miners un Appalachia? Chinese who worked on the railroad? Japanese interned? White sweat shop descendants? Everyone has suffered; everyone has hope . Except in limited cases (GU trackng down the descendants of sold enslaved workers is interesting, though I dont think they owe them money) I am tired of this culture of victimization. I think it has gotten us to this precipice. Left is truly a glass is half empty, bankrupt philosophy. [/quoteYou can start the fight by reading. The interred Japanese did receive reparations. Please don't spread lies or at least do your research before speaking.]

So, people associated with BLM get upset when their group is criticized and accused of inciting violence because a few rogue actors chant disgusting things and some even act on it.
But, the supporters say that you cannot paint BLM with such a broad brush because of the actions of a few.

That is precisely what Dyson does in this article. He has painted “White America” with the same broad brush. “White America” is prejudiced and blind to the struggles of the black man, according to Dyson.
Mr. Dyson has no idea how I was raised, what I was taught, or how I feel as a white person.

I have no idea how you were raised but I can surmise by your comments that your empathy is minimal. Words have power. Yours and Dyson's.

Maybe yes, maybe no, but the article is illustrative of the hate-filled rhetoric that the Times has provided a platform for (so long as it is anti-white and/or anti-police).

People will jump through hoops and claim that Dyson's hate is directed towards white privilege, or institutions controlled largely by whites, but the rhetoric paints all white Americans with a broad, negative brush.

Again, I ask what goal the Times thought it would achieve by publishing such drivel, and how the rich liberals who run that paper can sleep at night knowing the consequences of its actions.

Could you show me a 'white' person. I've honestly never seen one. Thanks in advance

I know what the color 'white' looks like and I've yet to see a human being with that color . So please be so kind and show me a 'white' person

If calling for better accountability for LE is "inciting violence towards police", then hell yes they incited violence. I hope more newspapers call out for reforms.

If anyone who reads police reform or brutality opinions takes away from it a call to harm officers then we really need to improve reading comprehension in this country.

After the shootings, the Times starting to bury the article, and no longer feature it on its web page.

It's a disgraceful, overtly racist article that, at least in my opinion, should never have been published and ought to lead to Georgetown's promptly severing any and all ties with Mr. Dyson. It is inconceivable that the Times would have printed any article by a white author purporting to diagnose the pathologies of "Black America," "Hispanic America," or "Jewish America" in such broad, crude terms. But it was happy to print Dyson's article. The rich liberals who run the Times need to take a hard look at themselves now and ask whether they have promoted racial discord and violence, by publishing such vile drivel.

No, OP. The NYT didn't incite anything. Nor did it "bury" anything -- content loses freshness after time and is replaced with newer content.

Let's keep the focus on where it belongs: Badly trained and trigger happy police forces that disproportionately target black people for violence. Thank you for your cooperation in that.

The Times absolutely buried the original--it can't even be found on their website. Moreover, t's absurd to argue that Op-Ed content loses its freshness within 24 hours.

Dyson's original proclaimed that "war" had been declared by police and contained other extremely inflammatory rhetoric. It was an astonishing piece.

The Times (and Dyson) are now trying to whitewash. Shameful, IMO.

This is exactly why black people are mad.

Based on DC Urban Moms I'd say that "white america" is prejudiced and blind to the struggles of the black man.

I agree. I cannot think of a context where such general attacks on "White America," accompanied by the de rigeur "you (white people) will never understands...," will ever lead to anything other than increased racial strife and antipathy.

The rich, liberal and comfortable will defend it - "White America" does not mean all whites, but instead a society where whites generally have enjoyed privileges denied to AAs, etc.

But when the rhetoric is as rage-filled and hateful as Tyson's, the distilled version of it that eventually reaches the whites who have led very hard lives and struggled to make ends meet will simply, and not without some reason, view as simply an effort by one minority group to obtain preferential treatment at their expense.

Again, that means nothing to the rich New York Times editors, and many of their readers, who are actually the most privileged people on the planet. They have no problem blaming "White America" for all of society's ills. It's like an insurance policy for them, as they'd rather have blacks focus their anger on whites generally than on the bankers and other fat cats who really call the shots in our glorious global economy.

It's the party line this season, so if you vote for, report about or are in bed with the Democratic party you have to carry this mantra until the election. Sadly, its been many years since the New York Times was worth a read. Get used to this, we are in for a tough four months

If I had to guess between the cops shooting people and the New York Times article, I'd probably blame the shootings. They speak for themselves.
