Everyone is a member of a 'race' therefore everyone is 'racist'. That's a genetically programmed reality of life. Humans are tribal. And differences in appearance trigger that tribalism. Rational people however can control those tribal feelings....sadly though massive portions of the population are not rational. As for cops being 'racist'. I have no doubt some are more so than others. But for the most part it isn't 'race' that drives the problem with cops. It's the color.....as in you may be black, white, red, yellow or green but YOU AIN'T BLUE therefore you are their enemy. If you aren't part of the 'thin blue line', their club then you are looked at at BEST as a sheep to be shorn if not then an enemy to be killed. THAT is the problem with cops.
