Had a young black man with a history of saying racist things about white people shot and killed a white police officer in her own home, he likely would not have gotten hugs from a white judge, a hair rub from a white police officer in the courtroom and been granted a kind of absolution by the white cop's brother. Instead of being sentenced to 10 years, he would have likely been sent to prison for the rest of his life, if not to death row.
