buddy, that's the god damn point.
and to your post about "why care when it probably wont happen to most people on mb" - empathy. man ive had my disagreements with soulflower but good lord I am kinda forced on her side here (or atleast im not on the other fucking side).

To the first part of your post,I didn't mention anything about race. I said 'another event will take all the media attention'. Not sure why everything has to turn to race, especially when I don't consider any of this to be a race problem.
It's not about empathy though, it's about realizing that the time we're spending talking about this issue on an internet forum where the people who want to fix the problem won't even see it seems very pointless to me. If this happened to someone I knew, of course I'd feel bad, but talking about it here does absolutely nothing.
