A tragic incident occurs: a white police officer kills a black man — even if the latter has a violent criminal history — and it's instantly labeled a hate crime. Protests erupt, cities burn, and media headlines scream about racism.
But when the roles are reversed — when a black man kills a white person — suddenly the story is different. No riots. No national outrage. Instead, we see a crowdfunding campaign raising nearly half a million dollars for the killer's family.
Where is the justice for the victim? Why is one life mourned publicly while the other is forgotten? Why is it acceptable to assume racial motives in one case, but taboo to ask questions in the other?
Something feels deeply upside down. We should be mourning every innocent life lost — regardless of skin color — and demanding accountability for every act of violence.
Justice should be blind. Isn't that the whole point?

When did justice become so one-sided?
