This is what I mean when I say progressives lie to themselves.
You can find any number of examples of either black cops killing unarmed white teens or other uses of lethal police force against white people. The protesters don't care about that and don't want to hear it, because in their minds...they'd much rather pretend this only happens to black people. That fits their fantasy narrative that the justice system is stacked against them and the entire country was built on racism...whatever the hell that means. It's much harder to accept the reality that Americans are pretty much responsible for their own actions and there really isn't some invisible boogeyman out to get them.
How the hell can you reason with someone who not only invents their own reality, but chooses to live their life by it?
Here's one particular tool Rembert Browne...he writes crappy race-baiting columns on ESPN once in a while and predictably had a lot to say about last night. This one stood out to me as it came before the verdict:
Rembert Browne @rembert
it's okay to still believe in an indictment. seriously.
I wasn't believing or "rooting" for anything besides justice being done. That means real justice, btw...not some cooked up social standard. Just for comparison's sake though, how many white people were hoping Casey Anthony would get off for no other reason than the color of her skin? Were there any white riots after OJ got off for murdering his wife? This next one, however...really takes the gold medal for idiocy:

Yet neither an indictment nor a conviction of Darren Wilson would have given black Americans, or other populations of color, what is so urgent: a court system that sees the history of racial injustice through serial acts of police violence, that processes justice by taking into full account the history of slavery, and that of racial, political and economic segregation.
Oh, ok. Let's use actions from 200 years ago as a template for all court cases going forward...and while we're at it, the judge and jury should automatically assume every white person involved is a racist. I guess prejudice is totally cool as long as you get to do the prejudging...
Vile scumbags. All of them.
Lol, when I saw people with bats bashing in windows, I wanted them to be shot square in the head. We should protect private property at all cost. It is sickening to watch what law enforcement allowed these people do just out of fear of being seen as "militaristic". Fuck that, there should have been asses beaten last night. Very sad to see how they handle these situations.
