No, I see black and white (in this context) as references to skin colour. There is no such thing as "white behaviour" or "black behaviour". Describing "whiteness" or "blackness" as behaviour sets is my main issue with Cristina's artcle.

But yes, everybody who was at the Capitol that day felt that there was some personal payoff for themselves. Some took it further than others. I disagree with all of them with varying degrees of force.
