[Delbert S.]

The problem is twofold. The memory of the wrongs blacks suffered while whites had full power is kept alive by verbal tradition. When a white police officer kills a non-white, it reinforces or confirms that verbal history. Too many decades were spent with blacks being killed with the unofficial approval of local authorities. Yes, sometimes there are justified killings, but they are often dismissed by blacks in favor of the verbal history. I guess you could say that racism is a two-way street. Progress in our society must be recognized on both sides before we can be more objective on both sides.
