Which gets to another one of the major messaging failures of the current iteration of the movement.
I understand the use of bad examples of cruelty because I understand the philosophical backing of the movement. But the vast majority of people don't understand that, and what they see is martyring of criminals and lowlifes. It's super non-persuasive to most people, and it has made MILLIONS of people believe the unequal treatment is a lie.
But it's not a lie, there are so many examples of true legit system injustice against black people in ways that happen less often (but still happen) to white people.
About the spark to the current protests: it was the perfect moment. The visuals were so clear and persuasive, and the entire world was on the same page.
But then Antifa started rioting.
