I'm talking about people who are actually concerned and interested in data-driven discussions.
Before ND_In_Atlanta left, he asked me why I changed, because we used to be in agreement on many of these things. Well, I looked at the actual numbers, and then also started watching many, many body cam videos, along with reading about many cases. I changed my mind based upon evidence. There are others out there interested in the same sort of journey. Discussing this issue should not inspire fear in people, which is what currently happens. As I mentioned, about the only folks who can discuss this in public are, first, left-leaning black intellectuals, and, to a lesser extent, Thomsa Sowell and Shelby Steele types who will be labeled "Uncle Toms," and ensure that they are always at the fringes of the preferred intellectual sphere.
