I hear your concerns, and understand where they come from, but the problem with letting fear take over like this is that we lose the ability to see the world as it is.

No, not all white people are white supremacists, and no, even though some people we might never suspect have racist tenencies, killing black people is not all they want to do.

Sadly we're constantly fed stories that give us a skewed view of reality because fear and anger and distrust get clicks.

I'm not suggesting that we let our guard down in any way, there are real dangers, but we can't fight racism if we let fear convince us to use skin colour to tell the diifference between friends and foes.
