This comment is generic and not aimed at anyone's comment. I often wonder if we would get a better result on fixing race problems with less focus on race. I often see the raw number vs. per capita argument pertaining to the police being immune to justice when they wrongfully kill someone. If we all pile onto the issue without the "it's a bigger problem for my group" stuff and get a better police force, black people benefit along with everyone else. Isn't a good result good, even if it's for everyone?
Would more white people (even the racist ones) join in the effort if they didn't perceive it as all about black people?

I absolutely think we would. I actually wrote this in an article recently.
After deleting my old Medium account which erased all the toxic exchanges, I created a new account. That was the name of that article?
