This country is still majority white. \*\*Also, he has a duty to wait for the facts to be in, not saying “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” Nor should he have commented on Henry Louis Gates until facts were known. Nor should his AG called America a “nation of cowards.” So what exactly were you saying here. He can’t speak from the perspective of a black man because this is a majority white country? --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/derekmichaels00-if-you-would-magically-cease-to-exist-the-world-would-be-a-better-place/754998)._
