The difference is that black communities too often attribute bad experiences to their race. I also didn't say it doesn't play "no role whatsoever". I don't have to stipulate that racism exists every time I say racism isn't an issue. If Roof is your proof, then how does Emanual Samson play into that example? Can I play the race card now?

Besides, I'm not sure that I'd use a psychopathic murderer as proof that society is racist.


Willfully ignorant is accepting that "bad things happen" simply because they're black. Maybe you can clarify that last sentence; it seems like you're implying something else.

Can we get a specific example where your white race was used negatively against you? Maybe one where law enforcement sought you out specifically because of the way you look?
