I think it may have something to do with solutions. People latch on to problems when there is a known solution. If white people knew that if they pushed "x" button or donated "x" amount of money to a cause, this would go away, they'd do it. I'm surrounded by the American south and I see both instances that encourage me and discourage me all the time.

Recently I was talking with my mother in law about how my college friend looks like the opposite of his wife. She asked how? I said he is albino with red hair and tall and thin. She is black, with dark black hair and is short and chubby." She winced and said, "how black is she?"

She wanted a black meter to determine how much damage we were talking about. To her, blacks are others for sure. She's kind and her family was always kind to "those beautiful women that nannied them as children." But there is an "otherness" to their thinking.

I'm not sure how you change that. There's no magic button. It takes integration imo. Going to lunch together, visiting neighborhoods and having a day in their life together. Empathy for one another's culture.

Regarding this video, we need a zero acceptance policy on this shit. I don't carr what color you are, police officers ought not be shooting you point blank in the back. Disgusting.
