"Or, like one negro youth recently did, walk up to a young white mother pushing a perambulator and shoot her baby to death"

Just curious, what culture calls a baby stroller a perambulator?

It's from the UK/Brit-speak. Again, two countries separated by a common language.

What culture?

Why a polite one of course.

Victorian for one...

One of the first pictures of me was taken by my father as my mother was getting ready for a stroll around the block. I rode in a wicker perambulator (woven from wicker canes rather like a clothes basket with wooden wheels). That was a bit less than seventy years ago.
