  Barack Obama Promotes a Culture of Empathy
Let us reject the impulse to harden ourselves to others’ suffering, and instead make a habit of empathy – of recognizing ourselves in each other and extending our compassion to those in need.  Let us resist prejudice, intolerance, and indifference in whatever forms they may take...I view that quality of empathy, of understanding and identifying with people's hopes and struggles as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions and outcomes....

Empathy Interview, For empathy, you shouldn't wait until a mother loses her son to a senseless murder. You should be talking empathy before.
Have dialogue with police to understand our children. You can't have empathy if you have strangers governing a community.  If I respect you, then I can be empathetic to your situation.
Without respect you can't even have empathy

Empathy Interview,
So empathy is an important aspect of this movement moving forward. Not just black people feeling the pain, but people of other colors also feeling the same pain and standing to help bring about the change.
