If white people get to be individuals and presumed collectively innocent, then black people get to be individuals and presumed collectively innocent, too.

"Please don't let them be black!" We've been indoctrinated to feel collectively guilty/responsible when a black person commits a crime.

No matter what crime a white person commits, white people aren't indoctrinated to feel collectively responsible.

Black people and Muslims are always asked to collectively CONDEMN evil acts committed by black and/or Muslim individuals.

White people and Christians are NEVER asked to collectively condemn evil acts committed white people and/or Christians.

Black people are ALWAYS asked to empathize with someone else's pain, to make OTHER people's struggles PRIMARY over their own.

White people look for ways to be apathetic to other people's pain and to make their own pain primary in everyone ELSE'S struggles.

White folks who commit crimes never lose their humanity, no matter how heinous the crime.

Black folks who commit crimes are never allowed their humanity no matter how harmless the crime.

White folks who commit crimes are regarded as individuals who made "mistakes" and have "legitimate" excuses like "mental illness" and "affluenza."

Black folks who commit crimes are considered inherently evil and degenerate by virtue of being black and a reflection and by-product of ALL black people's values and beliefs.

White people will not regard us as human beings, but we MUST regard each other as human beings.

Do not lay any unnecessary burdens at your OWN feet.

Embrace your humanity.
