Glenn Reynolds apologizes for saying drivers surrounded during street protest should "Run Them Down"

So you reached all the way back to 1993 for a quotation from a black person to support your preconceived point. Oops, I mean, bias. Yay for you.

Meanwhile, I don’t think that’s the only legitimate way to interpret Jackson’s 23-year-old comment. How can you be sure that what he was lamenting was the supposed reality of that fear, and not instead the fact that even black people (such as Jackson himself) are susceptible to such fearful, unfair, white stereotypes about black men?
