    Again, you can still enact racist policies while being of the same race as the victims. The problem is institutional, not just personal. Just because they get a black guy, or populate their strike forces with more diverse people, doesn’t mean racism is solved. It just means people like you can safely ignore the problem.

        Nah, they just don’t care. They know they’ll never be in that kind of bind. They know they’ll never have to live that. So since they don’t have to, they will literally never care. As far as I’m concerned, the settler-colonial descendants have to learn tragedy and calamity like what they’ve inflicted before it can be trusted they have a lick of empathy in the corses they call hearts.
