My kids are white and I agree with him.
I don't have to worry like he does when they get their driver's licenses and go out into the world.
It's not the same. Does that make America a racist nation?
If it doesn't I'm not sure what would.
Equal protection under the law seems......unequal.

He could have kept listing more things like the income disparity between black and white men and women, but he didnt need to.
I would feel the same even if I didnt have a black daughter almost the same age as his son.
