>An area has high crime. High crime leads to a large police presence. A large police presence in a black neighborhood means racism.
How did you jump from "high crime area" to "black neighborhood"?

People asking to defund the police aren't in gated communities in Maine.
The majority of calls for defunding the police were in minority communities in Baltimore, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Largely over already racial accusations.
