Of course this has always been the case. White racists have been dupped into believing the most marginalized people in this country are the problem.
One would have thought after seeing 600,000, mostly poor white people used as canon fodder to defend the wealth of the oligarchy things would be different today.
White boys are beat by the police too, but that does not work with the narrative, so it is ignored. White men are frustrated. The are committing suicide at record rates, addicted to opioids -- their life expectance has gone down in recent years.
The anger of racists is misdirected. Again this is by design, but since this is not taught in schools. A poorly educated population is easily distracted, manipulated, and abused.
The protests against the war in Vietnam, in reaction to all the senseless loss of life, was one of the few times white boys recognized they were being abused... Racists never learn.
It is astonishing white racists continue to believe Black people are their problem. The same ole tricks continue to work.
