Is when they're trying to minimize the significance of specific other crimes, often crimes against black people by white police officers. As in, "If they care so much about crime, they need to worry more about black-on-black crime."

Criminals usually commit crimes within their own communities, and within their own families. Most crime is within racial groups.
