Perhaps you need to read this again
The author could still be Latino as well.
There were two men of color, one black and one latino. All the other people of color were women.
There were no black men: "Every black man had a story: police harassment, spurious arrests, intimidation. They were all eliminated".
I think he meant all the others were eliminated.
The author himself is a black man.

That statement you quote does not imply that the author is black. All it says is that he's not white and not Latino. That leaves at least Asian, Indian (either definition), and Pacific Islander open.
