I think that bringing it up is generally unproductive, as it tends to add to the tensions. Like, if you believe that police shootings is a problem for your community/people, just campaign agains police violence in general. No need to formulate you message in a way that it excludes people of other ethicities affected by the same problem.

 

State your demands as: people should have a right to (x), instead of MY people should have a right to (x).

Ignoring it is not just going to make everything better.

Of course not. But I really do not see what benefit it brings to start bringing up the race of affected individuals. 

 

I'm under the impression that the distinguishment of race is one that is not inherent to man, but rather adopted through culture. We are, at core, mimics - impregnated are concepts that we have contact with, no matter which context. I believe if we could simply avoid every possibility to mention or point out race, as a concept, it would slowly but surely dissapear as an idea in the minds of future generations - and if the distinguishment isn't recognized in the first place, it cannot cause any discrimination or tension.
