A Washington Post commentary argues that white perception hides lethal inequality. It cites Abernathy and panther uprisings, warns of racist police violence and possible black resistance, urges white self-examination and nonviolent protection of civil rights, referencing historical figures and events.
The piece argues that police raids and Black Panthers reflect broader racial tensions in the United States. It urges communication and potential negotiations between authorities and black militant groups, notes increased racial division in schools and the military, and cites recent raids and political reactions as signs of mounting civil unrest. It discusses fears in white communities and the need for dialogue to avoid further peril to police and communities, while acknowledging Panthers’ growth and armament in response to police actions. It also briefly cites a New Haven murder case and mentions blocked kicks by Ron Curl of Michigan State.
