For space consideratios-—and also because it went off into an entirely new subject.
You are right—and more is coming out daily to prove that.
Now that is a hate filled screed if ever there was one.
An ugly exhibition of vituperation and bile.

“Racist attacks are a distraction specifically intended to shut down debate. “
FTA: (the referenced behavior) "... his high risk lifestyle, which included burglary, weapons charges, arson..."
I don't GAS about the skin color - the referenced behavior totally fits the label. I believe ML King Jr. called it "content of their character" so let's go with his kinder/gentler terms, if you prefer. Now we're just dealing with semantics rather than your reactionary response that plays into the hands of those who despise plain language for its lack of soft edges.
Go back a little farther to the Great Society programs that ruined families by facilitating unwed motherhood. This young man ay not have needed salvaging if he had grown up with a married mother and father.
Economics, politics and society in general are all interrelated. My feeling about are if we had kept all of our manufacturing base and those millions of good paying blue collar low skill jobs in the USA we would not be having the dire social and financial issue that we face.
As I recall this guy is a reformed leftie.
Racist? He mentioned the color of the young men because it was essential to the story.
IMO, hood rat is not racist.
Something like pavement ape, on the other hand...
He is a complete mess.
But what he wrote here is of interest {the part I quoted].
Back when people had common sense and were not indoctrinated with PC they’d call a spade a spade. To do so today is considered racist.
