We in public health think about populations and history, so lest we forget (and I suspect Jeremiah Wright has not) the so called "race riots" of 1967-69, were mostly police riots against unarmed black citizens. Official mainstream analysis afterwards confirmed that the police initiated all of, and committed most of, the shooting and deaths. But due to initial reporting and white fear, that is not how they are remembered; see:
