(2,086 posts)We've got a lot of people that confuse condecension with a lack of racism. Unfortunately, a lot of liberal/progressive white people suffer under a delusion of "white man's burden".
And, yes, we have some very active trolls expressing racist sentiments just barely inoffensive enough to slide under the radar. All the police-apologists fall in that category, the ones that have little to say unless it's to excuse racist behavior by the police. We need to raise awareness of this so that juries quit ignoring the problem and start "hiding" the racists for their continual disruptions.
Every thread reporting police racism becomes a flame-fest due to the false-excuses and nullification of these "sly" little racists. We all have the duty, under the jury system, of making it clear that the under-stated racism is unacceptable.
