Just another dead black male... If anyone simply doesn't like the look of you-they get to shoot you.

14. If you aren't a black American, you are not qualified to comment.

I am not black, and at least I have the wherewithal to know that it is not my place to ask "Where's the outrage?" when young black people are murdered by other young black people. Is it a tragedy? Yes, undoubtedly.

But the key difference is that those crimes are not motivated by racism and bigotry. This one clearly was. And the United States has an ugly, shameful legacy of white people killing black people for no reason other than their bigotry and hatred. That is one reason why this case has garnered such wide attention.

Not to mention that in the vast majority of black-on-black crimes, law enforcement officials don't go out of their way to exonerate the perpetrator of any wrongdoing when such an action was clearly not warranted.

That is not to say that anyone should minimize the devastating impact that violent crime perpetrated by black people against other black people has on the black community, but this case is qualitatively different in the worst sort of way.
