Can anyone logically disagree with this?

It was akin to Spencer saying his kids can't ever be friends with black kids because they'll eventually commit crimes against them, which no one would allow in a major newspaper.

A fair and open criticism of institutionalized racism can occur without sweeping generalizations about white people, especially when the generalizations are "all white people".
