I want us to have a hard conversation—about race, about injustice and about the possibility that America could seize the unprecedented moment we are in now, the aftermath of prosecutors and a jury finally holding a violent police officer accountable for killing an unarmed Black man, to finally address the systemic problems that brought us to this point. But first I'd like to talk not about racism and murder, but about peanut butter.
Imagine for a moment that the FDA has issued an emergency nationwide recall on peanut butter. All of it. Creamy and crunchy. The organic expensive stuff and the super processed store brands. Even products that have peanut butter in them, from Uncrustables to Captain Crunch, they've all gotta go. I don't know if other countries use peanut butter like we do, but in the United States it's everywhere—breakfast, lunch, —you can't get away from it. About 94 percent of American homes have at least one jar of it in their cupboard and that doesn't even count the other myriad other products with peanut butter as an ingredient. It's ubiquitous. But in my dystopian America we've tragically learned that this treasured food staple is killing several people a day, day in and day out, including kids, all over the country.
Now picture the local and national news covering one family sadly going through their home and carefully identifying all of their tasty peanut butter treats and tossing them in the garbage.
Are you able to see this scenario with me? As a lifelong peanut butter aficionado, it's my worst nightmare, but believe it or not, it's about the best metaphor I can provide for where we are right now as a country when it comes to the intersection of civil rights, human rights, police brutality and mass incarceration.

Fake news from a fake Negro. The real news should be how Shaun King still gets taken seriously after claiming he is really black because his white mother cheated on his white father with a black man, none of which has ever been corroborated by anyone, anywhere.
Just decriminalize everything black people do and be done with it
They know dems are racist,they admit it,but still embrace them WHY???Dems give them free gov’t goodies and that tops any racist crap coming from dem party....
Ah, the wisdom of Talcum X.
Hey, I am not the problem.
Go Fix Yourself.
Or is that too hard?
LOL!
As if cops are killing innocents every day
Rubbish
News Weak
nicer wisdom on homepage...almost X-rated.
: )
All these Woke idiots will ever achieve is more death, skyrocketing crime rates, and destroyed cities. They blame everyone and anyone, but themselves. The Democrat Party is party to this insanity, you can hear it in Harris’s sick laugh, and Joe Biden’s stupid lies. I am not optimistic about the outcome.
Most Blacks don’t want an “honest conversation about race”. Because if we did, they’d have to admit that the issues in the Black community are the sole creation of the Black community itself. There is nothing Whites can do to fix those issues. Unless and until Blacks shed the Victimhood mentality, they’re doomed.
Shaun King, the author of this trash piece calls everything in the world he doesn’t like symbols of white supremacy so he pretends to be black because he knows there’s no white privilege......It’s no wonder he’s called “ Talcum X”....even blacks don’t like the thief.
He does not want a real conversation. He wants to be able to lecture without being contradicted.
The justice system will be fixed when ChiComjoe and his gang of Demonicrat kakistocrats are tried, convicted, and sentenced to hang for treason.
Because it's the cover story of the upcoming issue of Newsweek so it is going to get national attention whether we like it or not. It's a good indicator of the state of the nation when someone like him is the lead story.
That’s just nonsense if you believe Biden is ever going to be accountable for anything because Newsweek has him as a lead story..... Further an article about Biden in no way is ‘a good indicator of the state of the nation’.
Are you really that stupid? The point was Newsweek using Shaun King as an author, not Joe Biden as a story.
So again why post his trash.
To annoy dumb people. Worked like a charm.
