It appears that way to me too. A few points to be made here. If and when white people are stopped disproportionately while walking or driving just because of the color of their skin, then some of these comments would make sense to me. If and when white people are given harsher sentences for the same crimes than other people, then some of these comments would make sense to me. If there was a long history of white people being enslaved, lynched, denied jobs, denied housing, denied loans, all based on the color of their skin, then some of these comments would make sense to me. The shooting in Orlando appears to be accidental while the police were responding to a call about an intoxicated man brandishing a gun. There was no intent to shoot the woman. (And let's not forget that once again a brave police officer was injured protecting us). To imply that the two shootings are similar is wrong, but to further imply that there is reverse discrimination against whites because the media isn't fanning the flames in Orlando is ignorant.
