I honestly don't understand the question.

First off, I don't believe the average citizen in America is racist.
More importantly, this thread wasn't started by the OP because he came across some obscure story. The fact is, that even the hint of someone being openly racism is huge news and while I don't deny the existence of racists and racism, I don't believe the average citizen is racist and I also don't believe the average racist will be open about his or her racism outside of a larger group.

For some people, being black is enough "wrong" for the cops to be called.

I don't deny that. When I say "doing something wrong" I mean "actually doing something wrong". Just because Old Man Whitey McRacist thinks a black man changing a tire is warrant enough to call the cops, doesn't mean the black man did something wrong. Breaking the law IS doing somthing wrong.
