Is the black community shooting themselves in the foot?

Ever since the OJ Simpson trial, perhaps it seems moreso than it truly is, but EVERYTHING seems race related.

-Flood victims weren't rescued fast enough-because they were black
-Michael Jackson was being persecuted/prosecuted-because he was black
-Kobe was setup-because he was black
-Kid's who attack police are being shot-because they're black
-ANYONE featured in a Michael Moore film is a victim-because they're black

I know there's more, but I just woke up so those are off the top of my head.

There ARE bad black people out there, just like there are bad white people, or asian, hispanic, native etc. It's not ALWAYS a race thing.

Now, I'm not saying that race isn't prevalent in society today, but it's getting to the point where sympathetic people are going to tune out the REAL instances when something IS race related and write it off to the black community simply crying wolf again. I wouldn't consider that progress.

Thoughts?
