I'm getting pretty fed up of this racial unrest

Awwww, I'm sorry those mean, nasty blacks are hurting your feelings. Do you need a safe space?

Recognize that this is an issue of class with race being a tertiary, and distracting, factor.

Sorry, but that's just not true. Police certainly fails working-class Whites too in some ways, but racism IS a real issue.

I'm not saying that racism isn't a real issue. I'm making the case that class trumps race when dealing with social class and status.

In many respects that's true, but when it comes to police brutality/murder, race often turns out to be the most decisive factor. A middle-class Black person is more likely to be a victim of it than a working-class white.
