In his condemnation of President Trump and his supporters, the author echos the refrain that left-wing progressives have been repeating for months.  He claims that he is speaking for all black Americans ("The truth is that the black community is looking on warily and with a rising sense of alarm at the chaos").  That is manifestly not true. Many black Americans voted for Trump because of his strong commitment to fighting crime in large cities, such as Chicago and Detroit, where gangs are terrorizing black communities and where the local Democrat parties, in power for decades, have done little for the safety of the population. Mr. Thorne also deliberately avoids mentioning any of the prominent black Americans who at great risk to themselves and their families have publicly supported Trump.  For example, read what football legend Jim Brown had to say.
