That might happen when white Americans stop treating other ethnic groups as poorly as we whites tend to do.

It’s basically a lack of empathy in this country. No one asks how a person gets there. People like the “all lives matter” crowd don’t want to listen to how someone who’s not them got to where they are. It’s in everything within our dialogue. Many conservatives think non-whites are content playing the victim card. Many liberals assume non-whites have to go above and beyond to achieve the status quo.

Both are gross broad over generalizations that need to stop. Yes, there is evidence that many non-whites were systemically kept down due to discriminatory practices from education, Real Estate, and the criminal justice system. At the same time, there are non-whites who had exceptional upbringings that may not have suffered as much systemic racism as their counterparts.

It’s all about the experience and listening, but we’re far more interested hearing ourselves to fulfill talking points. Right now, there are far more conservatives pushing back, because they refuse to hear the voices of those suffering that make up BLM. We literally engrained it in our culture that there’s no greater crime than to be wrong.

White people like him never thought about the value of Black Lives until it was in his face. People like him have a pile of unresolved guilt, and admitting that is the first step in recovery.

I agree with you MsKathleen. That guy's sign says (in my opinion) that he wants to just pretend that racism doesn't exist.

You can't simply move past a major social issue by pretending its over with.
