The nation's attention has been focused on the recent riots in Baltimore, but the harsh truth is that they could have happened in any major city. Indeed, we could see a long hot summer of urban (and, as in places like Ferguson, suburban) riots that would make the two-day disturbances in Baltimore seem trivial in comparison.

Is it all the result of the long-term decline in industrial jobs? How do you think? We are not learning the lessons of the past. 1960's, remember? The crisis repeats. And I'm a little bit afraid. I don't want the new Black Power movement, like Black Panther Party, for example. I don't want the political radicalization of the African American majority. The consequences can be really horrible.
