It wasn't a person that killed mlk it was a mindset, one still alive and well in 2020 america.
wrong. ideas dont kill people, people kill people. there are plenty of people of a like mindset that didnt kill mlk or george. it was an individual choice.
and yes, that mindset is still around in 2020, but its few and far between. there is no institutional racism anymore. do idoit white cops every now and then unnecessarily kill black people? yes, but its the exception, not the rule. theres no rule or conspiracy among all white cops to kill blacks. its something that happens on an individual level. otherwise it would be happened far more often than the once a year or so that it currently happens. while it sounds like a lot, and it shouldnt happen at all, its none-the-less a drop in the bucket of all interactions between white cops and black civilians, and statistically insignificant.
the one "institutional rule" that is likely a contributing factor is cops' tendency not to snitch on one another. but that has nothing to do with race, its across the board in any situation.
