The really sad thing is that minorities, especially African-Americans are wildly disproportionately likely to be murdered as well as to commit murder. Political leaders, journalist and academics have proven more concerned about stigmatizing African-Americans for being violent than they are about preventing them from actually being killed.

I think it has more to do with protecting their own position than helping the people they claim to speak for.
