We are still the country that produced George Wallace. We are still the country that killed Emmett Till.
Around 11:30 on Tuesday night, I left CBS News studios in New York City to take a walk and call my wife. We talked about the election. We talked about the very real chance of President Donald Trump. We talked, just to talk. But we didnt talk long. We had to do work. I had to write. And she had to figure out what she would say to her students, many of them Hispanic, most of them young children of immigrants.
Heading back, I walked past a conversation between two cops. They were outside the building, on duty. They were black. And out of some need to keep talking, I walked over and jumped into their conversation. Neither officer questioned me or shooed me away. Instead, they invited me to commiserate with them.
I cant believe this. I just cant believe it, said one of the officers, the younger of the two. The other just shook his head. I asked the younger officer what he thought about all of thisabout President Donald Trump. This is deep, man. This is deep. Who am I supposed to be protecting now? He looked down at his uniform. Why am I wearing this? He didnt need to explain. The Donald Trump who won the presidency on Tuesday is the Donald Trump who demanded execution for five boys, wrongly accused of a crime. He is the Trump who ran on a platform of law and order. The age of Trump will be an age in which police can act with impunity....

Hey, Jamelle (what a name)!
Do all of us a favor—Pick a better country and then go live there!
My first thought as well...
Typical liberal response. They always have to blame someone or something else for their failures.
Ah. Got it.
Those rural white Pennsylvania voters who supported Obama in 2008 switched to Trump in 2016, proving that they were white supremacists all along.
Romney got more of the white vote percentage wise. 59%, Trump got 58%.
Hey Jamelle , last time I looked HRC is a very wealthy white woman who doesn’t really give a rats azz about poor people of color .you didn’t see conservatives come out and say black won when 99% of blacks voted for Obama.
I think Slate.com is due for a name change. How about Shite.com? Yes, that seems appropriate. The real racists are the Democrats who think they somehow “own” minorities and are entitled to their votes.
Red, white, and blue won!
Thank God for patriots.
Man it’s tough to determine the more worthless leftist internet rag. Politico, or Slate?
What race is “immigrant?”
Betting his whole story was a lie. These people are so histrionic and narcissistic that lie so easily they don’t even think about it. Pure evil.

I don’t believe he was out dipdaping with the police, even black ones.
He is another in the long line of perpetually angry and aggrieved who believe that anything that whitey does other than pay taxes and die is racist.
Its his very rhetoric that has turned the clock back on race relations 100 years.
He's dead.
Didn't stop him from voting though.
When cries of racism are used for political manipulation, it causes harm in two ways:
1) Trivializes real incidents of racism
2) Individuals falsely accused of racism are targeted for violence
Salon, actually. Though The Nation does a good job.
I call bs. This conversation with the black cops is a total fabrication.
I was going to make a post on this subject. When the left preaches nothing but group identity politics and tribalism, and when people see that it works, eventually every body will start to embrace it.
