And thus, there is the stupid, “I don’t understand”: Understand. They hate you. They hate everything about you. They want you dead. You are in the way of their Marxist Utopia. That is ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND about them.
I can almost envision it, Americans lead to the box cars, put up against the wall and shot, loudly proclaiming, “I don’t understand!”

Charles and other people of good faith, from all races, colors, and walks of life, want allies in the pursuit of equality and fairness. The people he is scolding do not want those things. They want power, nothing else.

Charles is a Democrat, but he definitely talks some serious common sense to the black community every once in a while. I’ve always liked him, and I especially liked his big black ass back when I was a 76ers fan. Guy could box people out like nobody’s business.
For several years now he has been one of the few people in the entire sports world — players, coaches, media types, ownership and management— whose opinions are worth a warm bucket of spit AND he has a platform and isn’t afraid to use it. That’s a hero in my book.
Re: “And thus, there is the stupid, “I don’t understand””
In common usage, people use that phrase to mean many things, only one of which is an actual failure to comprehend the situation in front of them.
More likely he means “this makes no sense” or “I need you to explain in more detail”, or something alomg those lines.
I do this myself and have realized over the last couple of years that other phrases would really be more accurate. Still, I suspect the larger message gets through more than not.

LATE LIGHT by Klahn
Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

What is a semite?
Good on ya Chuck. Well stated and compelling.
