Jordan Peele went there.

because it was MY First thought. We need to cross that barrier but you know we'll hear screams of "white genocide."

To me, if we accept what Peele says about his motivation that barring regular life, living as a black person in America is a horror show, then the death of a white person first in his movie can speak to another discussion, a larger narrative that's not explored in an impactful way. And that is, as Michael Cook says, "...don't be fooled, this prison industrial complex has not only swept up black America but all people of limited means; hunting minorities and the poor at rates higher than any other on the planet. This thing grew bigger than anyone could have imagined. It's militarized and increased in scope and aggression. This racist, as it clearly is even if we took all the minorities out of the equation, leaving only the white majority, we would still be over incarcerated. We would still have vile police brutality. We would still have a criminal justice system desperately in need of reform."

My point starts at 5:43

This is the conversation - of immediate white death, that clueless and racist whites and thereby white liberals alike, could not help but engage in. The SQUIRREL! (distraction) of white genocide and, too many times, so-called divisiveness, et cetera has to be dismissed to deepen the conversation instead of silencing it.

TlalocW, thank you for opening an avenue to speak what's on my mind.
