You’ve obviously never really experienced any of this behavior. I can assure you he has had these experiences in spades (!). He said as much. Lots of black culture is dysfunctional and abhorrent. The same is true for a bunch of white culture, at least to me. But my fervent wish would be for all those whites who think there’s no racism in Ferguson to wake up and find themselves having turned into a black American. Be real interesting. By the way, I also think that black culture, as such, is just plain stupid and racist on its own. But empathy is a higher order emotion than racism, fear of the “other” and tribal animosity, and I believe should be preferred as a default attitude.
