I also think there could be a blame issue. It is not white people in general but a specific set of white people that don’t get the blame heaped on them. I say this because I saw the sign in the article your linked to. The black American woman speaking for Justice stands in front of a sign that blames “Florida.” The blame is generically heaped on a piece of land, not the people and institutions on it. It is almost as though they don’t want to say the truth that the rest of the article points out explicitly: DeSantis is responsible for racial disparity, and the head of the Florida legislature won’t bring this to a vote. He should directly be blamed for being scared of debate. DeSantis relishes in the accusations and the division, so blaming him is correct and still good. But the head of legislature’s name should be on the placard and it should say “Coward Afraid of Debate with Black Americans.”

Call him out specifically. It is not all white people guilty of it, though most do follow the cues of their leaders. Biden needs to be called out, too. He is complicit, and he gutted a key portion of the 1964 Civil Rights Act during his switching sides from supporting integration with the only black Senator at the time in the mid seventies to siding with the segregationists, the worst of the worst. Senator Jessie Helms thanked Biden and welcome his to “their side” and to “seeing the light.” That is the light of segregation. Joe Biden agreed to bury the John Lewis Voting rights act by saying he didn’t think it would pass and America was busy with other things. But as you correctly point out, the first agenda in a democracy is protecting the alienable rights of each citizen.

Malcolm X alluded to this in the quote you use, that he is a human being first. By fighting for equality and recognition for blacks, he was fighting to end the laws that were against not not repression of black Americans but by extension against those inalienable rights from being enforced and respected. He was fighting for America, which makes him more of an American than DeSantis, who is fighting against it. The real Americans are those who fight for it, not against it. America is the promised land, but only for those willing to do the work, like you.
Thanks again.
