I sympathize tremendously with your sentiment. The big problem is we all have to go at once, and organizing towards that end is a death sentence particularly in the digital panopticon. So you either have to have the courage of a lion (John brown) or put your hope into liberal reform like reparations. Even that is too “radical” for mainstream liberals.
It’s hard to see a way forward. It is a massive, multifaceted beast. The great satan.
What you’ve said here and your other comment is so spot on. I’m white, and being around other white people makes me feel like I’m losing my mind. Because everything you said is so true. So many white folks have such hatred of blacks folks. But if you dare highlight these facts around white people holy shit, will they get mad. It’s like, we all know how racist white folks in this country are but since white folks are rarely so explicit about it, it creates this layer of plausible deniability in them. If you polled white America and you could guarantee the results would be secret, 0.1% would admit to being racist, even though we know racism is way more pervasive than that.
