 My view on a statement like Rav Miller's is that whatever happens we are supposed to take a lesson out of it. When a tragedy happens and we say it may have been because of this that or the other thing it is simply to take a lesson from it for personal improvement. It is not to lay fault.

But let me ask you this - is it okay for me to tell a Black Joke? A Polish Joke? A Jewish Joke, etc? If you are Polish, and I tell a polish joke, what are you going to think? That I am a nice guy who is slightly bigoted - or "If this is what he says when I am in the room.."
If I knew the person it would not bother me. If I was offended I would let him know.

Presumably, if you knew the person - you'd know if they were a racist or not, and feel comfortable enough to tell them when you thought they stepped over a line. But if a stranger did it - how do I really know?

When I was in High School (about 25-30 years ago), a Black kid about my age gave the nazi salute and said "Heil Hitler" as I passed him by - aside from his ignorance that he'd have been in the concentration camp with me, I had little knowledge of what his true intentions were - was he just making a snarky comment, or if I came back with a (even non-racist) riposte, would that have led him to attack me?

At the same time, have had colleagues occasionally make jokes at my expense, and when it went to far, I'd make it known to them.

The intent is what matters and that is sometimes hard to tell.

Should a distinction be made between a racist and a racist that actually wants to see someone hurt?
I don't want blacks living next to me vs I will burn their house down.
What if he wants to burn their house down, but not with them it?

Didn't know what "shomrim" was so I googled. Not a good choice.

seems like he was in middle of stealing. Shomrim tried to hold him for NYPD but he wasn’t having any of it.

Silly Shomrim. Don't interrupt a man while he's stealing! Poor guy wasn't even finished yet. How rude!

The minute the woman who slapped 3 Orthodox women was released, she went out an committed another crime, and was released again.
Guess what happened after being released a 2nd time. She was arrested yet again. What a joke she's made the new justice system look like.

http://crownheights.info/crime/693564/crown-heights-shomrim-in-action-catches-package-thief-red-handed/

In the past SOP would have been different. However in today's day and age of surveillance cameras everywhere, Shomrim are extremely careful not to cross certain lines.

Here's where some racists see preferential treatment. SOP for the NYPD would be not to pursue this any further once the perp is behind a closed door. However here Shomrim managed to "force" the police to take action. That's unfair! No other group gets the NYPD to go beyond their SOP of doing nothing of substance for such minor crimes like theft and burglary.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

It also turned up things like: In 1996 a Crown Heights Shomrim volunteer was convicted of assault charges after repeatedly hitting a suspect on the head with a walkie-talkie after the man had been subdued. In 2010 a Baltimore Shomrim volunteer was arrested for allegedly striking a black teenager.

That's why I said that things are done differently nowadays. In addition to the different environment some of those original Shomrim volunteers are still there, but aren't the young hot heads they were in the past.

BTW, each local Shomrim organization is independent of the others, but they do cooperate and communicate when relevant (most of the time they deal with highly localized issues, which doesn't call for much cooperation with organizations from other neighborhoods).

They are in a catch 22. If violence breaks out they will be blamed.
