Said this so many times, my mouth is getting dry - when you see anything in the news that outrages you, bet the farm that someone is creating the image specifically to manipulate your outrage.
Because when the news cycle moves on to something else - your outrage and white guilt will dissipate and you won't give a fig what happens to blacks throughout the country - frequently or infrequently, deserved or undeserved - because the entire point is to get you all worked up over it. I wouldn't put it past the kinds of people who manipulate issues to stage and KILL a person, just to get YOU all worked up over it. That's a bit far-fetched - but consider - how often do you think this sort of thing happens? Why are you upset NOW? Because it's been on the news? How "angry" will you be in four months when you've long forgotten the name of the man who died?
Permit me to wax a little - religious on you. You can roll your eyes afterward. But the "enemy" isn't cops; it's not "white people". And it's probably not even "racism" although it plays a part. The enemy is evil; it's hatred. Cops don't do this - evil people do. WHITE people don't do this - evil people do. But evil doesn't wear a label allowing you to fight back at it with a rock or a torch. So you are encouraged to be enraged at cops, at whites, at anyone who will satiate your anger. Once it is satiated - and time has worn it down - things will GO BACK to where they always were before, because the whole point was to make you angry, not to compel you to action. You're never going to DO anything about it - you're just going to point fingers and stay angry over it - but you'll move on.
One more thing - if this weren't on every channel and being broadcast to your face in living color every waking hour - would you care at all? My Facebook is on fire with virtue signaling from white lefties all outraged at everything. By some twist of irony, almost all of them LIVE in VERY white enclaves of America. It's extremely unlikely they interact at all with an appreciable number of minorities or black people. For most of them, this issue will disappear and all they will know is, it's all Trump's fault and all those conservative white people, because the easiest thing in the world to do is get all pissed off and then do nothing about it.
