Frida Ghitis: Daniel Penny/Jordan Neely scuffle, Citi Bike incident not about race, but about helpless, lawless people.
She says it's a struggle between law-abiding people and lawless aggressors, not race.
Ghitis says the fight is between decent Americans of every color and those in power who wink at rampant lawlessness.
She asks: If you think you’re not a racist, that way of treating people by definition is wrong.
Don't be fooled into thinking subway story or Citi Bike incident are microcosms of a supposed fight between Americans with darker skin and Americans with lighter skin.
They do, however, represent tension between Americans who still believe in such a thing as right and wrong and those who work to guilt, scare, and harass those convictions out of them.
