> White people, especially leaders, have a history of saying they are going to do things about racism and subsequently doing little or nothing.
Maybe "white people, especially leaders" look at actual facts and not irrational tribalism, and realise what these people are asking for is special treatment - "Make us exempt from the common rules". Not just discriminatory rules but all rules. The protests are overshadowed by mass looting and lack of condemnation from those with a platform.
It's now moved from black equality to black supremacy.
The facts are uncomfortable and until every community is willing to confront bigotry in their own community, I'm never going to listen to houlier than thou proclamations, well intentioned or not.
