re: Irrational call for social change

Plenty of white people need to change. Anyway, not sure about how you're making this argument, but I do think you hit on something of note:

White people are frustrated not because they don't believe in racism or that our country has a history of systematically disenfranchising black people. White people are frustrated because that is all they hear (whites are doing terrible things to blacks), while their personal experience is quite the opposite.

I fully believe black people experience shite white people don't. But we hear about it, constantly, and it's laid at the feet of white people everywhere in media and politics.

Meanwhile, the fact that one can correctly guess the race, general age and sex of a person breaking into cars or committing burglaries or homicides in Atlanta with about 99.5% accuracy creates a huge discordance for well-meaning, genuine people. My goal is not to tell black Americans their concerns are fake or stupid. But if you're a guy who is a little concerned about getting his door kicked in, or someone putting a gun in your wife's face in a parking lot, it's just not going to resonate that him (average white guy) that he is the real problem in our society.
