Ryan Shinkel at The College Fix argues that the main problem facing the black community is not police brutality, but “the catastrophic state of black family life”:

College students ignore real tragedy facing black community

After a grand jury recently decided not to indict officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown, college students across the nation reacted in outrage.

Notable incidents included students who blocked freeways, held “die-ins,” walked out of class in protest, and marched on campus demanding “disarm the police.”

Yet setting aside for the moment the particulars of the Brown case, these student protesters show either a plain disregard or willful ignorance of the data on murder rates and social breakdown within black communities relative to other ethnicities.

One could easily blame their teachers for that.

For example, Georgetown University Professor Michael Eric Dyson suggests white cops who kill unarmed black youth is so rampant as to be a “plague,” and Kathleen McCartney, president of Smith College, told students after the grand jury decision the criminal justice system is racist against black people.

Brown’s death has been made a symbol of institutional racism by the police against young black men. But the facts don’t support those claims.
