Ta-Nehisi Coates On Black On White Crime In DC
TA-Nehisi Coates on black on white crime:
I was just reading this entry from Ezra Klien where he notes that fully half of his friends have been mugged. That is just a shocking number to me. I got to thinking back on my days in the District, and I couldn’t even think of more than three or four people who I knew that had been mugged. As I reflected more on it, I came to a very uncomfortable–if obvious conclusion–if you’re a mugger in D.C., a young, white, bookish blogger probably looks like the perfect mark.
Why?
