Yes, but see what you did there? You're comparing an individual case where you have personal information to a general vibe promoted by the media.

The general public has been led to believe that thousands of unarmed black men are killed by the police every year. In reality it's around 20. [1][2]

Saying that "silence is violence" coupled with misleading information is a means of manipulating people.

I prefer the old fashioned "sicks and stones, ...", "due process", "innocent until proven guilty", ...

You're missing the point. You DO have personal information that you can do things with in your daily life.

A simple example: challenging racist or sexist jokes from your friends.
