"None of this has changed much?" While respect your attempt(s) at honest discussion, I fail to see any truth in that statement.
But with caveats, I agree with you that:
[*1] It shows a past history of the callous and cavalier attitudes of some whites (women even) towards blacks, and their lives in general. One need only look at protests and outrage over how some blacks have been treated to se how much things have changed, changed since slavery existed in America, or even Jim Crow laws.
[*]It shows a history of whites (women even) lying on blacks that leads to their death. And we have always had Blacks (women even) lying on Blacks leading to Blacks being incarcerated or dying.
The callousness shown by bigots towards the memory of those kids you mentioned, in no way is a reflection upon White people in American society. Bigots are a sub group in most culture and society. If YOU want to appeal to the Angels of our Better Nature, I would go out out on a limb and 'splain to you to be more introspective and intellectually honest. Or not.
Yes, it hasn't changed much.
Right now we have video footage of white women calling cops on blacks for...
- Sleeping in the general reading area of their dormitory
- Cooking outside
- Moving into their apartments
- Moving out of an AirBnB home
And these are RECENT, as in the last month or so. All that had the cops called, some of which ended in either arrest or some sort of action against them.
For what!?!? Because these white women felt uncomfortable...somehow.
Their uncomfort = violence to these blacks. Where absolutely NO crime was taken place.
This is what we have on VIDEO, mind you. Imagine how many times this goes on undocumented by video.
Clearly you don't have a problem with that, which colors your perspective, and hence your opinions. Or, at worse case, you're simply a dishonest broker.
So if anything, it seems the only dishonest person here is you.
