Not coldness, but a gentleman of color and I were talking just yesterday about the recent events, and he said he was a bit embarrassed by in his words "what appears to be an attempt to make the white population feel guilty". He alluded to remarks by leaders that are not MEANT to condemn all whites or all police, but inherently that is how they are being received.
The condemnation of our police makes the condemnation of folks like ISIS look like gestures of minor rebuke.
If he felt that way, and you feel it, and I surely do, just imagine how this very high level rhetoric is received by many
