      The division you’re talking about has been there since black people were used as slaves. It’s systemic and it was put there intentionally because black people were never thought as equal to white people. Why do you think black people are overwhelmingly targeted by police? Disproportionately put into prisons? Your anecdotal experience of the 90s tells me nothing of well-documented racism against black people and other marginalised groups for decades.

      It was only a matter of time until the anger boile overd. It just happened to be George Floyd’s murder that incited it.
