Hi Hops,
Really has nothing to do with Narcissism but this has stuck in my memory:
There were two separate cases of sad police brutality where I live. One involved a white male victim, one involved a minority status victim (but not black). Both cases were in the news but only the minority story resulted in civil rights groups getting involved and public protests. In both cases the police were found not guilty even though huge sums of money were paid out to the family members of the deceased and permanently brain injured. It was obvious how wrong both cases were. The minority incident received a disproportionate amount of attention and a higher level of inquiry and legal scrutiny in court even though there was no evidence that the reason why he was targeted related to his ethnicity at all. Groups like the American Civil Liberties and so forth can at times represent races rather than principles from what I have heard in some discussions that come out of these events.
I don't think there really is a true principle or moral of fairness in life though...its not really the way the human animal seems to operate.
