There is a ton of irony in your objection to the term in a post that does a lot of referring to a lot of people at once. If there is no 'black community,' who is it that's being RACIST by daring to observe that their skin color is often relevant to how people think about them and act towards them?
BTW, see the reference to 'White America' in the post preceding yours. Racist, in your view?

Ah yeah OK, makes a lot of fucking sense.
Why don't you try for awhile to look at people's character and not their ethnicity. Seem like your argument hides behind this finger pointing nonsense that if your white you must be racist. Using terms like "white america" maybe applies to where you live but not me. Seems like it also gets used as an excuse quite a bit.
Does matter what color the Ferguson looters are they're wrong for what they are doing and should be ashamed of themselves.

That was my first instinct about Darren Brown.
It's not my fault this enormous and entitled thug who attacked a police officer happened to be black.

Or, should we just go that he was attacked by a robbery suspect drug abuser?

They are both the same height.
Wilson is 6'4" 210 lbs.
Brown was 6'4" 292 lbs.
From the pictures I've seen of Brown that extra 82 lbs is fat.
So the leaner man should easily been able to handle the fat one in a fight.
Give Wilson another 10 years of sitting on his butt eating doughnuts and he'll be 292 too. Then it would be an even match.

The left still, for some reason remains fully invested in ginning up race hatred and hatred of the law enforcement community. Hell, the headline from the Common Dreams rag headlines with the word "injustice."
Why?

Why don't you stop being a dick? What the hell else do you call people? What, we can't refer to anybodies race now? Is this some sort of right wing political correctness?
Hey Mike-----I'm White! Did that offend you?

The guys with the masks are possibly from a group called "Anonymous".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)
Techno-Anarchists, basically. Also, look closely at the images of the looters and rioters....
They're not all black. (Oh, damn, there I go again.)

Well, you've just admitted it wasn't so, as typical, your point is invalid.

No, it's very valid.
Throughout this whole saga Brown has been portrayed as a giant Goliath attacking a scrawny little David. The truth is Wilson is a pretty big dude himself.
A big dude who supposedly is in fear for his life by way of being beaten to death through the open window of an SUV. How do you get beaten to death through the window of an SUV that you are driving? A Cop SUV at that. You've got what? 500 Horsepower at your command? All you have to do is hit the gas and the Dude on the outside is fucked.
