Public reaction to white male vs black male stealing a bike

This is what we mean we say the black is already assumed to be a criminal.

Also notice the tone difference. How the black kid is being shamed and how the white man is given the benefit of the doubt.

I can never watch this without getting pissed, seriously, the fuck is a post-racial society? The fuck is innocent until proven guilty? Does NOT exist for Black folks, especially Black men.
