If it were, there wouldn't be so much black on black crime,

Much of that black-on-black crime is either due to gangs having turf disputes, drug deal disputes, and general "He DISRESPECTED me!" stupidity.

“He DISRESPECTED me!” stupidity.

...

Yep. A long-time friend who is black surprised me by stating that he thought Trayvon was right to circle back and attack George. “He had it coming and I would have done the same thing.’

We live in different worlds.

Just not true. Talk to black people who live in fear in their own neighborhoods. They are just as afraid of blacks as you or I would be. They don't want less police presence in their neighborhoods, they want more actually.

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

My 'implicit bias' against black people

In case you missed the vice presidential debate — and who didn't? — the most memorable moment came when Indiana Gov. Mike Pence sounded shocked, shocked, at the very idea that a black police officer could be biased against black people.

I've got news for you, governor. A lot of black people don't like black people all that much.

I know. I'm one of them.

I don't dislike all black people. Most of us are fine.

When people tell me they are surprised to hear that I don't like all black people, I remind them of how little African-Americans were exposed — until recent decades — to positive images of themselves in media and elsewhere.
