This is true, some whites don’t expect blacks to obey the law ... “What I find in the place of overt racism, however, is aggressive paternalism. It is stunning to hear both public figures and my friends in the suburbs speaking sympathetically of the rioters. Arguing that black rioters or looters should be held to a lower standard than other Americans because of “black anger” is so patently racist, it confounds me.“
The same with Vietnam war and Iraq...the enemy could commit atrocities to their hearts content, but we were shackled because “we were supposed to be better”, ie, white people are supposed to be superior to brown-skinned people.
