The circular part of this logic is that they assume race is central in white-on-black crimes, precisely because they are white-on-black, and assume it is irrelevant in black-on-white crime

The first thing I thought of was the Italian mob and "omerta." You mean to tell me a prosecutor cannot refer to the sicilian code of silence to a jury? References to cultural phenomena are not racist or discriminatory if they do, in fact, exist and aren't simply prejudicial racial stereotypes.

It's an *in-ter-es-ting thing* that everyone outside the Media and the NY-DC circle can see this problem, but "they" don't...either can't, don't or won't....maybe all three.

The circular part of this logic is that they assume race is central in white-on-black crimes, precisely because they are white-on-black, and assume it is irrelevant in black-on-white crime.
