I imagine there was more than just a sigh of relief from many white people when five Memphis police officers were charged with murder for the beating death of an unarmed Black man. The sigh of relief was because all five of the former police officers charged with the murder to Tyre Nichols are themselves Black men. Some people may believe that the five former officers were charged with murder because they are Black men, but the police chief who fired them and had them arrested them for murder is a Black woman.
It may seem like a difficult challenge to untangle how all these Black people treated one another and to blame it on white society, but it is easier to understand if some terms are clarified.
