No these issues are about race and we have got to stop trying to downplay it to make it comfortable for everyone else. Classism is also a problem, but blacks worldwide our held at the bottom and attacked. Their is an extra emphasis on black people in every single society on this Earth, that is for a reason.
As far protesting being a distraction to the bigger problem i would answer that the justice system having the right to kill us at will is one of the biggest issues CLEARLY. I don't want to hear about the difficulty of the cops jobs or "mistakes" happening when it comes to black mens lives, this isn't only an issue of killings that are going on, this is a long history of police beatdowns, police corruption, & the criminalizing of black men for 100's of years. At some point we have to stop thinking this system is "broken" and realizing that this is the exact system people want in power. It's the exact system that helped build this country, & being sympathetic towards them and making it easier for them is gonna change nothing.
American media loves to throw around the word "victimization" and insinuate that somehow blacks shouldn't discuss the fact that we ARE VICTIMS. We have been victimized and targets of destruction for centuries & not going to feel bad about pointing that out. As of this very day we are being targeted and we're expected to move as if the playing field is level and we somehow should work within the system.
your post reads as if being docile & not pissing off a regime that wants to Lynch us all is somehow going to bring change
