In light of the recent events in Baltimore, everyone wants to have an honest conversation about race. The difficulty is that in this honest conversation about race, nobody is allowed to say anything that is true. We have gotten to the point where the simple truth is inflammatory.

So allow me, if you will, to say some things that I believe to both true and relevant. Here are seven observations related to race relations and public order.
