That's a pretty broad statement and the author lays out a good argument.
Why America Has Gone Mad (WARNING 4100 WORDS)
This is because millions of ordinary whites have crossed the color line and adopted the prevailing black view that whites are exclusively and personally responsible for the failures of blacks; that every white is implicated in a supremacist system that exploits blacks.
...........
The article left out race differences in arrest rates. For the period 2009 to 2014, blacks were 12 times more likely than whites to be suspects in violent crimes and 9.5 times more likely to be arrested for them. Police almost never use force unless they are making an arrest. So it may be true that the average black living in Minneapolis is seven times more likely than the average white to be manhandled or shot by the police, but to leave out the fact that the average black is also 9.5 times more likely than the average white to be arrested for a violent crime is either incompetence or deceit.
The police are much more likely to use force on the average Minneapolis man than the average Minneapolis woman. Is that because they persecute men — as the Times would have wanted readers to believe if it had written a similar article about sex differences? No; it’s because men are a lot more likely than women to be criminals and therefore a lot more likely to be arrested.
As is often the case the comments (of which here are 394 as I posted this) has some interesting commentary.
The second comment linked a pretty good, and entertaining, analysis by another author. (WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)
