Dennis Prager writes<\/a>: It was very appropriate that on Friday, the day after the massacre of five Dallas police officers, The New York Times devoted nearly the whole top half of its front page to four enormous photos of the death of Philando Castile, a black motorist killed by a Minnesota police officer.
\nOf course, the paper was printed prior to the Dallas murders; and even The New York Times might not have so prominently featured the Minnesota killing on its front page had the Dallas murders occurred a few hours earlier.
\nNevertheless, it was completely appropriate. The New York Times has been in the forefront of the left\u2019s hysterical, hate-filled attacks on police officers and whites.
\nAlso appropriately, on the day of the Dallas murders, the Times published two white-hating, police-hating pieces.
\nOne was by Michael Eric Dyson, a radical black professor of sociology at Georgetown University.
\nThe Dyson column is nothing more than a racist hit piece on \u201cwhite America.\u201d
\nAn example:
\n\u201cAt birth, (whites) are given a pair of binoculars \u2026 Those binoculars are privilege; they are status, regardless of your class. In fact the greatest privilege that exists is for white folk to get stopped by a cop and not end up dead when the encounter is over.\u201d
\nDyson wrote these words based on the police killings of two blacks last week, about which he knows nothing except the narrative of the (left-wing) media and what he has seen on some grainy phone videos.
\nAnd not once does Professor Dyson mention that the Minnesota police officer was Latino. Why would he? That would suggest that Latinos, too, are given racist binoculars at birth. But Dyson would never say so, because it is white America he loathes.
\nNor does he note, or perhaps even know \u2014 because of his left-wing binoculars \u2014 facts such as these:
\nIn 2015, of the 990 people shot dead by police, 93 were unarmed and 38 of them were black. Of the 505 people shot dead by police thus far in 2016, 37 were unarmed and of them 13 were black. Given that blacks murder and rob more than whites \u2014 they committed 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country in 2009 (despite comprising about 15 percent of the population in these counties) \u2014 an unarmed black is less likely to be killed by police than an unarmed white.
\nDoes Dyson, a professor of sociology, not know these statistics? Does he not know that, statistically, whites have more reason to fear being murdered by a black than vice versa? If he doesn\u2019t, he shouldn\u2019t be teaching sociology. If he does, students should be aware that he is a left-wing, black nationalist propagandist, not a teacher.
\nThe same day the Times published Dyson\u2019s piece, it published a second anti-white, anti-cop, hate-America piece by the mother of Michael Brown, the young black man killed in Ferguson, Missouri. That black grand jurors and even Obama\u2019s Department of Justice found the policeman who killed Brown was acting in self-defense after being attacked and thus justified him in doing so means nothing to The New York Times. So it published the grieving mother\u2019s anti-cop hate.
\nThe blacks and whites of the left have led much of America, especially black America, to believe that cops are generally racist, that there is \u201csystemic\u201d racism and that whites are privileged and racist. It\u2019s all a lie that has had \u2014 and will continue to have \u2014 murderous consequences.
\nAmerica has become the least racist multiracial, multiethnic country in world history. This drives the America-hating left crazy. That\u2019s why leftists manufacture fantasies like \u201cmicroaggressions\u201d \u2014 non-racist statements that the left labels racist, foolishness like \u201cwhite privilege\u201d and the dangerous rhetoric of \u201cBlacks Lives Matter.\u201d
\nJust yesterday The New York Times published the results of a study conducted by a black Harvard professor of economics that shows that \u201cwhen it comes to the most lethal form of force \u2014 police shootings \u2014 the study finds no racial bias.\u201d
\n\u201cIt is the most surprising result of my career,\u201d said Roland G. Fryer Jr., the author of the study.
\nOne assumes that this Harvard professor has never read Heather Mac Donald or any other conservatives who have been writing this for years.
\nThe New York Times \u2014 as the flagship publication of the left \u2014 and the rest of the left have the blood of police on their hands. And not just cops\u2019 blood \u2014 the blood of the blacks murdered because of police reticence to vigorously patrol black areas. What is known as the \u201cFerguson effect\u201d was created entirely by the left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
