"I think that there is racism when black men are seen as more dangerous than white men."

No doubt you mean well, but when statistics show that black men are, in fact, more violent than white men, denying this fact perpetuates the sizable subculture of violence among young black men. I, for one, refuse to be bullied into thinking I'm a racist simply because I believe what statistics show. The majority of blacks, good people who reject the violent black subculture, are struggling to change that subculture, to raise children who are not sucked into the maelstrom. They know that that subculture is pathological, and quite literally, murderous. The very last thing we should do, if we care about the lives and future of young black men, is to deny the problem. We can go on and on preening about how non-racist we are---I'm not saying YOU do that, Alexandra, but many liberals do---or we can tell the truth, fix the problem, and really love our brothers. Their lives do matter.
