That's all well and good, but I've moved far past my youthful idealism of what "should" and "shouldn't" happen, and am more interested in how to win hearts and minds. And the reality is that for many people, "imagine if he was white," or seeing it happen to a white grandpa are more effective than seeing it happen to a 46-year-old poor black person in what looks like a poor part of town.
