Waukesha Killings Make the Media Colorblind Again – WSJ

Once we go down this road and get into the habit of racializing such events, we may not be able to contain that racialization, said Brown University economist Glenn Loury in a recent speech for the Manhattan Institute. Soon enough, we may find ourselves in a world of instances where black thugs killing white citizens come to be seen though a racial lens as well. This is a world no thoughtful person should welcome since there are a great many such instances.

The political left s hyperconsciousness about race might help Democrats turn out their base, but at a steep cost. National cohesion in a country as large and ethnically diverse as this one has always depended on our ability to focus not on our superficial differences but instead on what unites us as Americans. The sooner we start choosing political leaders who understand this and punishing the ones who don t the better off we ll be.
