America is not a model if identical people with a Identical opinions
There are many Americans who are bigots in one form of the other and it is true that black folks have had a pretty hard run of it. Even now. But there’s a lot of Americans, who are happy to learn how to get along with each other. I live in a pretty pale city, and though there are incidents. It’s not as bad as in some other parts of America. That said, there are entire sections of the country where it is in advisable to be a black person after dark in addition there are other sections of the country where many Black people live, and they are often in areas that areEconomically damaged, and many of them are also very close to toxic sites. So it’s certainly not everybody, but it’s Manny. And it’s not just black folks, Latin people Asian people and anybody who is of indeterminant gender are often Recipients of bigotry
I have heard it said that the problem with bigotry
Is based on a fundamental premise
All people x Are condition Y
This is a false premise

@Dshhh It’s easier to discern than that. Look at who receives bank loans, and who generally doesn’t. Who can afford an education, who generally cannot, (and the recent dismantling of programs that might’ve corrected this discrepancy). Statistically, who’s more likely to die in childbirth or in an encounter with law enforcement.

@bijouxbroussard Systemic racism and institutional is probably the most pernicious of all.
We see it here in Australia too.
Seems to take generations of activism and effort to slowly eradicate it.
We have a national referendum on the Voice to Parliament coming up in six weeks.
I'll vote yes.

It doesn't even matter though. It doesn't take but one bigoted leader (at least in the US) to convince people that the rights of certain groups need to be rolled back.
Like anything else - takes years to build but only a moment to ruin.
