My friend Dr. Alveda King was on Fox News last week invoking the words of her uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King: “Either we live together as brothers or we die together as fools.” That seemed more important than ever as the riots in Charlotte entered a second night, and no one could say for sure how long it would last, or how many people would be hurt. It now appears that at least one life has been tragically lost. During the week, Rob gave you examples here, here and here of just how out-of-control these “peaceful protesters” got, while Dan explained how irresponsible reporting by the media stoked the riots in the first place. Look, I can understand the perspective of many black people, especially black men, who feel they are in danger when they encounter the police in a way that white people do not. They have heard so many stories of black men being shot by the police, how can you blame them for wondering if they too might be in jeopardy even if they are doing nothing wrong?
