You'd have to ask him to be sure, but from what I gather, he's saying there's a double standard between how whites are able to show their objection to (perceived) racism verses how blacks are able to show their objection to (perceived) racism. Referring back to the events of Baltimore, mobs destroyed the homes, businesses, and private property of people who had nothing to do with what happened to Michael Brown. If white people did the same thing due to the shooting of those reporters, the general public would be a lot less forgiving.
....I think that's what he's saying, and he can correct me if I got it wrong.
I don't understand how the public would be less forgiving? There have been plenty of riots where looters and rioters where white. I have seen riots after major sporting events that hardly get any press at all.
