Is it always racism?

RE: Is it always racism?

If a white person accidentally kills a black person is that always evidence that they're racist?

If a white police officer apprehends or arrests a black person on good grounds or bad is that always evidence that the white police officer is racist?

If the answer is no to all three questions, then why are so many liberals and demagogues like Al Sharpton so certain that George Floyd's death is the result of racism?

Not the point.

The issue isn't case by case with America. It is long term and institutionalized. Washington DC was literally built by slavery. And even after Lincoln lead the North to win the War against the South to end slavery, nothing was done to any serious degree to end economic inequality. So while blacks were not technically owned after, they still were maringalized and segregated into poverty, which amounts to indentured slavery. And the justice system was worse, all it took was a white person or a lynch mob to falsely accuse a black person of a crime they still faced an all white jury. 

"But it is 2020 and I am not responsible for what happened back then".  Is the argument I get from fellow whites and have for decades now. "Why cant minorities just obey the law?" Funny that, but just like white cops murder innocent blacks, I have been seeing lots of white people riot and loot this past week. 

That is an argument that has  been going on since the Civil Rights act. If 100% of whites back then got it back then, we wouldn't be dealing with the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmund, Sandra Bland, Eric Garner, Trevon Martin, ECT ECT ECT ECT....

So when you oversimplify your OP argument with "Isn't it possible", you are ignoring selection bias and sample rate error.

Certainly humans are capable of hurting other humans regardless of race or intent. But when it comes to sociology and human history, there is a clear pattern that blacks long term have gotten the short end of the stick, and still are to too much of a degree. You can t look at Obama and Oprah or Micheal Jordan and think, "They made it so the problem is over."

Blacks ON AVERAGE are still hurt worse by the justice system and economics than their white counterparts.
