In this skit, white and black anchors doing the Midday News engage in competitive Noticing what race local criminals are. (This is started by the black anchors, of course.) The white people start, for comic effect, to display consciousness of race, exulting when something embarrassing to blacks comes up. The blacks win in the end — because the sketch writer doesn’t want to get Cancelled.
In real life, of course, everyone white on the team would be fired, as would the station manager.
And in actual historical reality, resentful black anchorman Vester Lee Flanagan (below right) murdered Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward live on camera because he thought they were making "racist" remarks.
Another point: The actual disparity in crime rates is such that, even counting "white" hurricanes, blacks will always lose this game if all local crime is considered "fit to print." For example, a black is six times more likely to commit murder than a non-black, and in in California blacks were more than 13 times more likely than whites to be arrested for robbery — see The Color of Crime, 2016 Revised Edition. And as far as white collar crime ("It’s right there in the name!") is concerned, John Derbyshire pointed out 18 years ago, in the pages of National Review (!) that "It is not generally appreciated that black Americans commit higher levels not only of ’street crime,' but also of white-collar crime."
Transcript, with some links added.
