Most of the people I know who've got all "up in arms" along with recent BLM protests are white middle class people who, to the best of my knowledge, have NO close BAME friends/lovers/acquaintances. Of course familiarity breeds feeling comfortable with that which (largely appears) different, whereas distance and ignorance breeds...fear? Insecurity? Mistrust? Racism?
Then white mono-culture booky thinks: "There's all this stuff in the media about how society is systematically racist, but I'm part of the white middle class majority...they mean me! They think I'm racist!! I must show the world I'm not a racist quicksharp, especially as I'm also quite insecure I might be a bit racist actually!! BLM! BLM!" etc.
Embarrassing as hell and sad as fuck really but there we have it. I mean, as if people have only just realised since mid 2020 that there's SOME racism left in society, and that police brutality exists, and that it need be confronted and defeated wherever it is found.
