(10,056 posts)Listen, we live in a world dominated by white supremacy. That is a fact.
Western 'culture' and capitalism at it's heart is about the supremacy of white Europeans over the rest of the world.
It is an ideology that pervades popular media, culture, business, etc the world over.
What BLM protesters were doing was holding up a mirror to the white liberals that pat themselves on the back for creating a liberal and progressive place to live while at the same time having a police force that is so brutal that they are under Federal oversight.
The fact that white liberal policies have still left Black Americans at the mercy of police brutality and institutionalized discrimination should be a cold reminder of how far we still have to go as liberals, progressives and Democrats.
