Novelist’s violent wishes exemplify ‘progressive’ paradox on guns and more

“People keep saying, 'We need to have a conversation about race,’” Morrison said. “This is the conversation. I want to see a cop shoot a white unarmed teenager in the back. And I want to see a white man convicted for raping a black woman. Then when you ask me, 'Is it over?’, I will say yes.” [More]
