re: Why are black people so emotionally invested in these police shootings?

Nothing is anyone's fault, so it must be someone else's fault.

I didn't make good grades because the teacher didn't like me. Now, the teacher is racist.

I couldn't get a job because I can't do basic math, or read beyond first grade level. Employers are racist.

I can't afford nice things because I don't have a job and I have 2 kids by the age of 20. Everybody's racist.

I can't shop at that store, because I bounced checks and was caught shoplifting. Store owner racist.

I got pulled over because my tail lights were out and I had a "tag applied for" sign written on cardboard in the window, and the cop smelled weed, and I had a suspended license, and I had outstanding warrants. Cops are racist.

I didn't win the election, even though I am an inexperienced blowhard leviathan in a state that abhors such. Voting is racist.

And that's how you get to where we are.
