Bill:  It's really important to "say what you mean and mean what you say."  When you make a huge sweeping generalization such as "the people of color get the kind of law enforcement they deserve" is not surprising that readers believe you meant what you said.. I know I read it and said "wow, that's an amazingly racist comment."  Indeed there are black criminals just as there are white criminals and Latino criminals and Asian criminals and liberal criminals and conservative criminals, et al... When police profile individuals based on their race, not on their actions, it represents racism.  Some blacks get the law enforcement they "deserve" as do some "whites."  However, IMO, many blacks are treated badly by law enforcement when they clearly don't "deserve" that treatment. This includes the shooting of unarmed black men.  That is precisely the issue Mr. Kaepernick was protesting.  I support that protest.  Gary Crum
