Of course it has a bearing on my life. I'm made to feel like my rights are a privilege instead of, you know, rights. And I don't ignore the reality of this. It has my attention, and systematic racism does warrant my outrage. I want to tear the system down, but I'd only actually want to do that if there was a serious alternative. Anarchy is not a serious alternative, that will be an even more racist world.
People need to come up with solutions. OK some departments have said they'll stop doing chokeholds and stuff. That's great. So more people will just get shot. It's a superficial measure. It doesn't deal with the systematic racism.
We need political change. In USA, that means breaking the two-party system. In the UK, it means breaking the two-party system. This is a political problem, but the politicians don't want us to realise that and prefer us to think this is a racial problem. They have actively created the conditions to foster racial problems.
I'm not seeing solutions. I'm seeing further division.
