Quote:Why are you telling me how I interpret things? I know he's talking about the criminals rather than 100% of black people.Just found that piece interesting because it sounds similar to how a farmer would describe livestock or how David Attenborough would talk about some strange species of animal.

 

I'm not telling you how you interpret things at all.  I'm just pointing out how taking one sentence out of an essay doesn't tell the whole story.

 

Regarding the part in bold, I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion.

 

What is brought up and pointed out in the essay is what really needs to be talked about and addressed.  The thing is, in today's PC society nobody has the courage to actually to discuss it rationally.  If a white man who is a public defender brings up the fact that the majority of his black clients can't speak English well, then we should just write him off and say that he's "racist", even though what he says is fact.

 

It's just pretty much "burying your head in the sand" by refusing to discuss the situation, no matter how delicate and hurtful the subject might be.
