His point was that everything is a deflection from the actual problems... problems which are dire, are long standing and are never talked about or addressed without the person bringing it up being called racist. The African American community in inner cities is a complete mess and the community in general is a complete mess... but a high on drugs, career felon like Freddy Gray who beat the shit out of himself in a van (according to the witness) or Michael Brown who tried to kill a cop get twisted around to create a strawman argument which is based on fantasy and ignores the real problems.
Personally, i'm tired of hearing the word "racist". Any black person that blames their problems on me or racism can go fuck themselves. There is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from NOT picking up a gun and shooting someone, from NOT stealing, from NOT going to prison multiple times, from NOT running out on a child/pregnant girl, from NOT breaking the law and from NOT working hard, making good choices and busting your ass for what you want.
