I'm sorry. I don't mean all white people because obviously some do, but more white people need to care before it will be deemed newsworthy by the media.
Let's consider why you're trying to change the subject.
Did you read the article I linked to? You might find some answers if you do.
Yeah, I find the overall reluctance to discuss institutional violence troubling.
In my opinion, It is not 'changing the subject' to discuss the out of control violence in the inner city. It is a big part of the same issue. WHY do cops tend to use force when they see a young black male coming down the street with a knife or gun? Is there a reason they react forcefully besides the claims by the activists that the cops are all secret KKK members? Could there be more to it than that?
I think both issues are intrinsically tied together.
Interestingly, NYC has observed a decrease in violent crime alongside their recent decrease in stop-and-frisk. So, it appears violent policing doesn't reduce crime. But, to address your question of why: if the police are racially profiling people, and adjusting the violence of their response to the color of the citizen's skin, that is indeed racism, and a problem. Klan membership or no. All Americans have the right to be treated fairly and equally under our laws and by our law enforcement.
