Things like police brutality, general racism, war on drugs, etc were more aggressive in the 1990s, yet the level of racial activism and racial justice movements was a fraction of what it is now, when things are better by most measures.

Why is this?

Even the early 2000s, from 2000-2010 or so, there was much less racial justice stuff.

Did the black community simply not view themselves as “targets” as much in the 90s as they do now?

Propaganda. Our media has incited this. (hint:it’s why they claim it’s Trump doing it)

Because the left will never allow racism to die. Racism is a significant part of the democratic parties platform and it plays a key role in them winning elections. It will never sue in America!

Because people weren't instructed to be outraged and furious and "demanding an end to institutional racism" yet.

IMO, several reasons -- but postmodernism, cultural Marxism, or whatever the hell one wants to call it - while not new - is producing results.

Because we (white folks) are playing "lets not not excite them", and they (black folks) sense this whether through foolish misinterpretation or pure opportunism and are enjoying their new found power.

Of course inevitably the day will come when they mess with the wrong white mans money, and then only the Lord knows what happens next.

When you have the left and their propagandists telling you 24x7 how angry you should be, some people listen.

They have to invent political issues because they have no platform.

Generally, the activism and protest happen as things improve by groups that have had progress

Obama was elected to make racism go away. Sadly, he made it worse (by design).

Racism is an industry now. Waaay too much money is made off it.

Problem is...China can use it as a weapon.

A lot of corporate money goes into these groups to prove they're "not racist".

It’s not real.
It’s manufactured to support a leftist/communist agenda.

Lots of Americans literally think the issue is race.
Race is being used as the vehicle to implement more government control under “equity”.

Controlling outcomes.

Push the traditional western family structure to the margins. Push the necessity for a patriarch to the margins. Insist masculinity is toxic. Conflate militias with white supremacy. Conflate patriotism with nationalism and nationalism with white supremacy.
Sign EO with focus on eliminating “domestic terrorist” i.e. “white supremacist”, “white nationalist”, militias.
Have military “stand-down” to raise awareness of the “threat” of domestic terrorist.


Which demo is the most staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment?

Now you have you answer why things have gotten “worse”.

ETA- if you made a list of what the American useful idiot supports, what would be on it? And why? To what end would it lead?
