It's pretty hard to discuss white-on- black racism in America without reference to the privileges that whites in general enjoy, and introducing other races clouds the discussion. As Rhythm noted above, our history, with its white-dominated power structure, "peculiar institution" and "strange fruit", rather demand it for the sake of accuracy.
So I take it you're not against the use of the phrase black on black crime either?
When discussing the level that black people kill each other on a statistical unprecedented level in the United States.
And I don't think that it necessarily clouds the conversation to mention other races.
Other races Asians exist.
If their income for example is better than white people then this challenges the narrative that you have to be white to succeed in America.
And Asians doesn't just include the Japanese, Chinese and Koreans it's also the Indians.
Plus groups of people at a similar income to whites such as Turkish, Bulgarian, Romanian.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
