Ted,
That doesn't make any sense. Who fears discrimination more than violent crime? No one I know.
You're right, it doesn't make any sense.

Yet this is one of the takeaways from the Ferguson effect. People "care" much more when a white cop shoots an unarmed black guy. But hundreds of unarmed black guys have been shot this year alone by other black guys. VERY few articles have attracted any national attention because of this.

By the way, have you seen a new meme going around these days based on the movie "Straight Outta Compton"? For example, you can change your profile pic to this:



Seems cute, but I personally think the celebration of this thug culture is part of the problem.
