To whom? I don't find myself feeling divided or excluded.
It's certainly not the case that no one piped up about the death of Timpa, or even that the black community couldn't or didn't then (and now) point to Timpa as why we should have all, always, been concerned about police brutality. They care, and cared about Timpa. The people of Dallas cared about Timpa. Timpa had a family who cared about Timpa. I care about Timpa. You care about Timpa. The people that you're posting to on these boards aren't exactly likely to exclaim "fuck that white asshole!".
There's only one group of people truly missing from the list of those which do or would or might care about Timpa, and that same group of people are the ones making so much noise about Timpa....now. That same group of people have been very successful at shifting narratives and dividing people with their messaging. It's right there in front of your face, and all you have to do is look at it. You are already staring in it's direction, obviously, but not clearly. It would take so little and mean so much to so many.
I've noticed that the frequency of these posts from you is ramping up. I'm concerned. Have you considered that you might have gone beyond the point of a consuming subject to an active disseminator?
