I'd agree to that on condition that our 'majority' community places the same standards on itself.  Funny, haven't heard that white folks raised any money to help the widower and two children of that woman that Murphy M. Gross killed, and only did eight months time for.  Eh.  White folks won't even turn in THEIR miscreants when they hold public office!  Kindly don't presume to lecture others about doing what you yourselves refuse to do (or are unable to do).

And this doesn't mean I lack empathy for that poor old gentleman who was mercilessly beaten--I do hope the guilty party is held responsible.  I had an older cousin beaten to death by a younger relative looking for drug-money some years ago.  But I dislike double-standards.  Dislike self-righteousness even more.
