The conflicts involving non-black crazies just don't appear to be as newsworthy because of the sensationalism race related incidents. So it gives the impression that it's just "blacks acting self righteously indignant after being called out for it". I cringe when I see this stuff because it looks bad but the condescending way you posted this is, in my opinion, beneath the intelligence and professional stature that I admire(d) you all for.
That post rubbed me the wrong way too. I am as conservative as anyone, but the post in question paints all with a broad brush and was very demeaning. Sure there are some bad apples but I've seen very few people of any race behave with a manner of entitlement based on skin color...
