Until there's harsh, incapable-of-being-ignored, and expected consequences for said betrayal
The fundamental problem of being a minority is that your relatively small population size and often fragmented diaspora makes you an easy target for bullying. And westerners love their Strategy Of Tension. Which means your minority community is often being Grima Wormtongued with some bullshit about how Other Minority is the real reason you're being persecuted.
I can very easily see a future in which Arab-American Voters and Trans-American Voters are told "Sorry but its the other guy standing in the way of your civil rights" and told to duke it out, while Christian Conservative Mayo Americans heckle both groups from box seats.
They wanna sell us, well, let's bleed them.
Easy to call for violence in this way. Significantly harder to deliver on it. Talk is cheap. But who is seriously interested in martyring themselves Thomas Matthew Crooks / Ryan Wesley Routh style trying to make a point?

It's either that, or we get returned to slavery. Crackers ain't gonna stop with "tension", just as much as crackers ain't gonna get in the way of the cops gunning us down. I already know how it's gonna go down if it's me facing another pig down. I'm not interested in hearing cracker-assed pearl clutching about "buh buh buh martyrdom" the fuck are we getting from existing in this state in this cracker-assed country???? Like real talk if that's all you got for me fuck off.
If you believe your only value to your friends and neighbors is the commission of arbitrary suicidal stochastic violence, then you've already lost.

You have access to physical capital, to education, and to a significant minority population that still has ample organizing capacity for local mutual aid and self-defense. Throwing that all away in the vain hope of making headlines is shortsighted to the extreme.

I thought I told you to fuck off. Betrayal is violence; reprisal is defense.
