It’s hard to stay a leftist. You need to confine your circle to just people who think like you do. You have to avoid friends or acquaintances who might influence you the wrong way. You have to avoid vacations that might challenge your thought-process. You have to zero-out various radio and TV networks that could influence you to flip to another side of the spectrum. And you have to keep all this up....for decades.

I walk to work through Paterson, NJ, a post-industrial, high-crime, majority-minority city...

As I walk, I pass healthy African American men in the prime of life who spend their days smoking joints and gossiping on streets littered with trash that no one but the rain ever removes.

Not buying this.

If this white woman's everyday commute took her WALKING through a high-crime area with thugs smoking weed in the street, she would be dead by now.

Yes, white supremacy still exists. That’s a fact. What do we do with that fact? What story do we tell? What story will help my students and my city?


I have my own questions for this author. Name me any nation, any city that has arisen solely from a “black” background and is “prosperous”? And by prosperous I mean very little crime, the people who live there are generally happy with their lives and have no wish to move ‘elsewhere’.

Good neighborhoods, cities, states and nations take a lot of work to build and even more to maintain. Someone possibly even the author needs to bend over and pick up that first piece of broken glass, that brick on the ground or perhaps... perhaps that cigarette butt there near that pack of homies on the street corner.

If the premise that all blacks are equal is dropped, then reality is revealed
