And I'm saying that there aren't separate rules but that the rules are more complicated than "if X race, then Y race". It's the same reason that you can't ignore advanced math simply because it's too complicated. History and context must be considered when making "rules". To assert otherwise is in conflict with proper logic.

This is ridiculous. First, you're making a pretty big assumption about why you're getting down voted. But more importantly, you are effectively suggesting that it is racist when race influences a decision or action. That can only be true in an egalitarian society. Otherwise, you are effectively saying "pretend the problem doesn't exist and it will go away". Which is absurd. Race matters in our country.

Black people have a valid reason to not want to involve the police. You seem to be under the impression that someone must be delusional to feel that way. I'm certain if you earnestly and honestly tried to understand why this mistrust exists then you would realize how ridiculous your comment is. Instead, you seem to be approaching it from the assumption that it has to be unreasonable and trying to prove yourself right.
