Are all parents mean? No of course not. Are all police killers? No of course not. Are all non-white people innocent and blameless because they are non-white? No of course not.
While I certainly don't agree with racial discrimination, I find it troubling that race is being used in our country to promote a social battle. Instead of focusing on how far "we've" come as a society, we are dwelling on real and/or perceived injustices. Some people might think parents are "mean" because they enforce necessary rules for their children's own good. On occasion, some parents might actually be mean; but hopefully there are far fewer of these than the "nice" parents.
There can also be "bad" cops. Hopefully, there are far more "good" cops than bad ones.
For someone, say someone who has already decided that children are always right because they are children and they never have to learn to be responsible for their own actions, they would always blame the parents. Furthermore, whether true or not, they would always accept the children's argument as truth. Does this sound like a good reality?
Such a one-sided viewpoint—regardless of if it is to the (political) far left or the far right is dangerous. In my opinion, people (on the far left) who cannot see through the lies that hold all non-white people blameless and label all police officers as "the problem," are exhibiting their own brand of backhanded racism. The results will likely be out-of-control individuals who have learned to lie to get their way rather than responsible people who contribute to society. Even more unfortunate, is that those on the far right will likely rally their allies and vote right-wing, racist, elitist, short-sighted people into political power (see 2016 Presidential Election, USA).
