Oh, right. I wasn't paying enough attention. Either way, the idea of bringing the guidebook up is to make us white people feel bad about something we had no part in.
Usually it's slavery that's brought up for the same purpose.
As for the police, "Mountainspirit" is largely correct, and black people are way overrepresented in violent crime statistics in the US. Feel free to look it up. But that's a perfectly fine reason for the (well-meaning) police to pay more attention to black people in particular.
