This is the root of the problem! Exasperating the problem is white Americans, when convenient, adopting the black victimization angle. I only follow relatively smart people on Twitter, but yet my Twitter timeline last night was filled with people calling for Wilson's head, and the vast majority of them are white Americans.
Obviously the end result of this shooting is correct, that Wilson is free (not a fan of how they arrived at the decision, but that's another story). The aforementioned white people, the majority of whom are presumably quite intelligent, are approaching this illogically because an unarmed black kid is involved... and this stance is actually a detriment to the situation.
