John, you need to be on every major media outlet during prime time tonight & every night spreading this message ad nausea to every white viewer. Thank you.
I'm skeptical that enough white Americans will have the foresight and commitment to shift our political regime all the way through. I've witnessed way too many white liberals and progressives get wrapped up into the politics of "feeling" (meaning powerful emotionality) as an effective political methodology at the expense of developing effective, long-term political strategies.
Many people have this naive notion that once some major event has occurred and they feel great that everything going forward will now be wonderful and perfect. That's what many believed after Obama's first election, and I worry that's what will happen after the current protests die down. I'm not sure what can be done to galvanize people for the long haul, but it's a requirement to overcome these fascist currents undermining our country.
