You run around screeching RACISM every single day and then wonder why people threaten to riot over race??
And this is the very core of the problem.
The PC Police find every last excuse to scream about racism and bring race into every last possible situation, whether it exists or not, creating three problems:
First, it dilutes the real racism that does exist.
Second, it puts blacks even more on edge from the real racism that does exist, creating a powder keg situation that doesn't need to be there.
Third, it creates animosity against blacks where it did not exist before, with whites growing more and more tired of being intimidated when race is brought into every last issue.
The race pimps and the division pimps keep it going because it's their livelihood. The PC Police keep it going because they have somehow convinced themselves that, despite all evidence to the contrary, it is "helping". There has never been a better example of the law of unintended consequences, and it's a damn shame to see it rip this country apart.

QFT.
I never understood how those that continually bring race into every discussion do not realize that is exactly what creates racial division.
You are not born a racist, you are made a racist by having the race of other continually pointed out to you over and over and over and
There are two groups of these people: The race pimps who have a vested interest in keeping blacks as angry as possible (Sharpton, Jackson, etc.); and the well-meaning (I think) people whose emotions on the topic of race have taken over, prohibiting them from recognizing the obvious unintended consequences of their "caring".
You're not going to talk either group out of their crusade, period. And worse, they only get stronger when they can use a case like this to their political advantage. Young Mr. Martin's memory is being used for racial, PC and political leverage, and I'll bet it works.
