I definitely agree that these types of events should not be tolerated in the least, but at the same time, I refuse to be demonized because I'm white. That's just another type of bigotry.
I can't claim to never have a racist thought go through my mind, but I do control my behavior to be sure that I treat everyone with respect until they do something to loose my respect.
For every instance like these, there are just as many black-on-white crimes that never make it into the news because its not PC to report on it. Not saying that it makes the events you pointed out any more right, but I'm just saying that its not license to put all white men on the cross.
