189996, random, unpredictable violence creates irrational fear.

many whites were irrationally afraid of muslims because the violence affected ppl that looked like them.

many Blacks were indifferent because we didn't identify with the world trade center and the pentagon.



sorta like many whites were indifferent to police brutality,
and don't understand our irrational fear of cops.


i fail to see the difference.

random, targeted violence leads to paranoia to other ppl that identify with the folks that got got.


ppl have used this tactic ever since war was invented.

i dunno why you are acting like this is a Black thing,
or pretending to not understand the irrational fear.

we can and should process it better. but it looks like humans being human to me.

why do you disagree?
