All white people, not just the police.
Via The College Fix:
Imagine if The New York Times published a piece by a conservative academic in which the theme is the author teaching his white children that friendships with black people may not be possible.
Imagine, too, that part of the author’s reasoning was being worried about his children’s safety.
It wouldn’t happen, of course — that is, the Times actually publishing such a piece. But a similar article was written over five years ago, and the result was author John Derbyshire being ousted from National Review.
The Times would — and did — publish, however, Ekow N. Yankah’s op-ed which posits essentially the same thing as Derbyshire did … but in the racial reverse.
Titled “Can My Children Be Friends With White People?” the Yeshiva University law professor says the election of Donald Trump “has made it clear” that he needs to teach his sons the “lessons generations old” — that is, be cautious, be suspicious, be distrustful.
More succinctly, the question is “whether [his sons] can truly be friends with white people.”[…]
Yankah, like innumerable academics since November 2016, rips President Trump and his supporters, claiming the latter “are practiced at purposeful blindness,” and that the president’s allies “have watched racial pornography, describing black America as pathological.”
White Trump voters and blacks can like each other, the prof concedes, but real friendship is doubtful.
“For African-Americans, race has become a proxy not just for politics but also for decency,” Yankah says. “White faces are swept together, ominous anxiety behind every chance encounter at the airport or smiling white cashier. If they are not clearly allies, they will seem unsafe to me.”
