If you read the footnotes on his latest piece, he talks about the crime wave and mass incarceration (He says that’s where he breaks from Michelle Alexander) and in the interview above, he states that black people have always had higher crime rates, so you can’t blame a “culture” for the last 40-50 years.

So what is your argument? People reach 90, let them out of prison?

Except, you know, crime being primarily intra-racial and murders being difficult to fake and all. But whatever. You’re right, racism. ALWAYS RACISM!

Yes. Have you ever had someone close to you murdered?

Sure, you can do that. Have you actually had someone in your family murdered?

No...it doesn’t. He’s as black as the president who is commonly known to be the first black president.

So we don’t have a black president?
