Absolutely! And the real problem is WE as black people believe them...."you're one of the good ones", is always the implication. Like strangers in a van with candy, stalking unknowing children, black people are subtly instilled with the fact that "betterment" means THEIR approval. And defending each other for "behavior they don't approve of," means somehow we too are problematic. (Re: how DARE you defend a black we don't like....Bill Cosby, who let's be honest if he had raped 300 black women, he'd still be selling pudding pops. Or walking around free and unharassed, with his crimes forgotten about....like a former president with the same initials. BC...

YET all those white cops who killed young black men before and after George Floyd, and didn't go to jail....well, those black men were "suspect" anyway. Point being WE, as a community, used to and SHOULD decide who of us is good, like other communities do! There are Colombians who defend Pablo Escobar, but you don't see whites "questioning" their loyalty and safety towards them. Millions of members of Islam who follow or believe in the work of certain groups who actively hate this country, but you don't see whites, demanding that the Islamic community, prove their citizens be better or different than that "scary" element of their population.

Its just black people who they feel they need to continually EDUCATE and deter from a criminal tendency, and on what is or who is an acceptable black in THEIR society.
