Author is a racist against whites. Go read some of his other editorials.
Just look at his bio and biblio

Remember that song
Just One Look, That’s all it took.
One thing about blacks, they dont worry about facts they just make up their own as they go along. If Whites stuck together like blacks, there wouldnt have been a Civil war.
Perhaps he’s right. If it were Summers, would he have been arrested? The answer? We’ll never know. The bottom line though is that writing editorials like this is basically race trading, trying to gain credibility or notoriatey by trying to make the situation worse by appealing to people’s deepest suspicions. Obviously, if the author really wanted equality and a post-racial America, he would have written an editorial which spoke about how far blacks have come since civil rights in the 1960’s. He would have written how since WE are now presidents, professors, producers, millionaires and pillars of the community, perhaps we should start acting like it and that begins with not being so insecure as to piss our pants on our own front porch when one of OUR OWN constables comes forward to make sure we are secure in our homes and neighborhoods. If we are truly assuming our share of the mantle of power, why are we still acting like deprived five year olds, reflexively returning to our most sure screed in order to get the lollipop with the least amount of effort. In the end, the author may be right (and he may be wrong), but so what, where does that get any of us, black or white? What a waste of ink!!
