Nice catch. This might be slightly off topic, but one thing I've noticed is that a lot of conservatives, who aren't racist themselves, are buying into the propaganda of racists. Not realizing the agendas of those they get their news from. One example I've seen is that the "anti-protester" crowd has been copy / pasting stories from a site called "topconservativenews.com" which is owned by a white supremacist named Kyle Rogers. Now this is one of the more blatant sites, because they're hawking white supremacist t-shirts and the site is registered in Rogers' name. But they aren't all so obvious.
One of the tactics is to go find as many examples of "black on white" crime as possible. Random murders where the attacker was black and the victim was white. Then they compare this to the Mike Brown shooting or the Eric Garner death and accuse the media of covering up black on white crimes.
Of course, to be fair, there are race baiters on the left who see everything through a racial lense as well.
