America's history has made class & race to intertwined, there's honestly not much distinction between them, especially when it comes to blacks.

Depending on how bad covid hits, numbers might start to decrease as more people get sick.

Maybe more healthy people will come out to help replace people who go down with the Rona to keep the movement strong

Being rich doesnt stop police and random white people with guns from thinking they have the right to harass me.

The man Amy Cooper (Dog Park Debby) called the cops on was very successful

Breonna taylor was an EMT for the University of Louisville

miss me with this argument

If people start dropping like flies as a result of protesting, it is not likely to convince others to go out and take their place.

are you sure about that?

if a black guy in a Ferrari gets pulled over there is a high chance he got pulled over BECAUSE he was black and in a Ferrari. And maybe he will get Sandra Blanded anyway. And he was rich enough to buy a Ferrari.

how many black guys have had the cops called on them for walking on their own neighborhood?

The hard reality is that wealth accumulates over generations, & poverty is self perpetuating. Whether it be slavery, Jim Crow, or the modern biases that exist within the system, black Americans have always been restricted in what they could do. This means any children they had, were also limited by what their parents could provide, & this carries on to the children of those children, generation after generation. This is why blacks are so disproportionately over represented in almost every definition of a "disadvantaged" community. Sure some manage to overcome such odds, but those are outliers.

If you seriously needed it explained to you, this is just one example of how oblivious some people can be to reality & the causality of events.

I wanted to understand what you meant, I'm not stupid.

It wasn't meant to insult your intelligence, but there are just too many people who just can't understand why black Americans would still have trouble when "we ended slavery". They just seem to think the effects of +200 years of discrimination can magically vanish in a few decades.

This isn't quite true. Rural trailer parks and the inner city ghettos have far more in common with each other than they do with their own geopolitical neighbors.
