This article is from England , and does not tell me how race is involved.
Nor does it fill me in much on the situation on Colorado.
So I don't know if this story would have been possible or likely with a white criminal, or if it would have been handled differently in the law or in the press. Not just from the facts presented here anyway.
Making this determination depends a lot on my previous experience , which depends a lot on what I am shown and on what I choose to remember.
Jessie Jackson is the right age to remember when a crime like this one would have caused riots and destruction of black communities by white mobs.
It has been a long strange trip, and we are still traveling.
