    The society that exists in such a place is doomed to self-destruction, thankfully. The people that didn’t even have an opinion on ICE until a few white people were treated like black people are the reason why. That entire mindset: “I don’t think about problems unless they affect people who look like me” is a great mindset to have for exactly one skin color in the US, but those two white people in Minnesota will be remembered like 9/11 It is that mindset why the democratic party is not an opposition party to white supremacy, but instead controlled opposition by the ruling white supremacist class elite. The same mindset is why americans don’t actually care about genocide and will non-vote for vote for fascism when fascism is on the line. I’d wager an overwhelmingly vast majority of protesting non-voters were of a… pallid skin color.

    Here’s a big hint: Thousands of black and brown people have died as martyrs for the rights of all americans, even white ones, since the 60s. How many white people have died for the advancement of the rights of all americans again in that same time period?
