Minnesota violence: Clashes over death of black man in police custody

The despicable police brutality of the arresting officers in the states of this man which's in the press. Why is the race of the participants the OVERWHELMING primary issue, according to the press, and not considered to be necessarily IRRELEVANT in the name of colourblindness, equality, unity and harmony? Is there in fact ANY evidence the arresting officers are racist, and not just power tripping thugged out c*nts? I'm yet to see it, if so. BTW - if there is to be a race war; I will be a conscientious objector - that's the easiest decision I've ever had to make. Over to you, Morgan.

Mr. Freeman’s comments notwithstanding, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to identify race in a story about racism. It’s immaterial at this point whether the racism is real or perceived.

It would be lovely if everyone could be colourblind in the interest of racial harmony, but we’re not there yet. And we won’t be as long as white cops keep murdering black people with impunity.

I actually don't see the merits in being 100% colorblind. Are people so irredeemable as to require blinders in order not to hate? It's okay to notice someone looks different from you. It's just not okay to treat them differently or expect them to have different rights because of it. I love admiring the diversity in our appearance. It would be a shame if we had to pretend not to notice because racists can't handle having more than one type of sneech on the beach.
