Abstract:

The Durham News’ resident whitesplainer, Bob Wilson, finally called it quits. Wilson had reasonable moments during his tenure, but when he addressed race relations, he served as a reminder of systems and stereotypes that are best left behind. In response to Black Lives Matter protestors, he argued that African-Americans simply needed to stop shooting one another.
