Its only now that people are starting to acknowledge the inherently racist roots that still have influence in America, all the way back, starting from slavery, this country has exploited blacks and has implanted a systemic deconstruction of their identity, and because it is systemic shows us that the majority of people know that it is real, but don't do anything about it. Or until now
Well before the internet there wasn't a hell of a lot you could do about it. I mean, you knew that cops were not stereotypically very nice to black people, but we didn't have all this documentation. That has a big impact. It sort of forces the conversation. And, again, the internet makes the country small enough that we can actually start to have that sort of conversation.
Right on. Totally ignored that train of thought
