too many crime shows on TV that all the black criminals are coming to kick the door in and rip off the TV (which would do most of them a very great service). Maybe it's used to show that most crime doesn't cross the color line, that white predators prey on white folks and black predators prey on black folks. Of course the latter isn't taken seriously by LE. One of the worst forms of discrimination is that POC are simply not listened to.

I've never really understood the term, myself.
