Mojo started the conversation by listing the top 5 U.S. cities to visit if you wish to be murdered in cold blood. It's not a problem to be minimized. This last weekend, several children were killed, including a 3-year-old who will now be paralyzed for life.
....
To the extent that those five cities mis-represent the state of Inner City America, then to that extent it could be a red herring. To the extent that gang violence, police corruption, and social disorder are in reality alarming problems, I'd give Mojo credit for sincerity.
For example, people point to Trump's characterization of a Latin judge as an easy-to-perceive representation of his personality as a 'racist'; from that point of view it's an accessible example, easy to process in our 140-character society. Chicago, N.O., Detroit, etc., serve as similar 140-character examples of the broader problem.
....
Maybe our inner cities are okay, but that doesn't seem to be Kaepernick's or the Seahawks' perspective.
Thanks,
