We all want to believe in progress, in history that marches forward in a neat line, in transcended differences and growing acceptance, in how good the good white people have become. So we expect racism to appear, cartoonishly evil like a Disney villain. As if a racist cop is one who wakes in the morning, twirling his mustache and rubbing his hands together as he plots how to destroy black lives. I dont think Darren Wilson or Daniel Pantaleo set out to kill Black men. Im sure the cops who arrested my father meant well. But what good are your good intentions if they kill us?
