[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before the Dallas shootings, the New York Times was prominently featuring this rage-filled and hateful article by a black Georgetown professor, full of venom directed at "white America," on its web page:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/opinion/sunday/what-white-america-fails-to-see.html?mabReward=A5&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&region=CColumn&module=Recommendation&src=rechp&WT.nav=RecEngine&_r=0

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. [/quote]The article is excellent.  Maybe it's YOU who needs to take a hard look at yourself what is it you don't understand and what you are willing to do to understand why black people are angry and hurting.  Maybe it is YOU who is promoting discord.  Contrary to your one-sided belief, 99% of African-Americans support police.  You conveniently forget there are minorities on the police force.

I am older and have seen up close and personal, past and present, questionable actions by those entrusted with authority.  I have seen, like Dyson who you castigate, official behavior in the most deplorable and frightening situation.  That is why people form opinions from ACTIONS and continuation of those actions.  I, myself, have been frightened for rightfully being pulled over for speeding and willingly placing hands fully and openly placed on top of the steering wheel while explaining I was a physician called in to the ED.  Yet, preconceived notions assumed I wasn't being truthful while the other officer on the passenger's side stood with gun drawn.  Verbal eloquence be damned.  I almost shit in my pants I was so frightened.  And yet, OP, you can't understand why there is so much anger from African-Americans of all socioeconomic levels.

I applaud Dyson's article and hope he continues the fight with his pen against corrupt police who nullify the positive efforts of others.[/quote]
