Now using your laughable example, just how many people of color do you think are out there attending private schools raised by two white collar professionals? Just how many do you think there are in comparison to Caucasian children in the exact same situation? The ratio is staggering.
Now take an inner city child in a dilapidated school, surrounded by people who are angry about being oppressed their entire lives. Then elect a President who he knows is not saying Make His America Great Again, but actually saying, "Make White America Great Again." Throw in a disease, several diseases actually, which disproportionately kill his friends and family members compared to the MAGA crowd. Now add a (thankfully small) handful of law enforcement officers who're less interested in protecting him and his family than they are patrolling looking for any opportunity to rough up another person of color. Any normal officer would have booked George Floyd for passing counterfeit money without incident, but instead he uses force which contributed to his demise. Your angry, there's now no one to protect you, no one in front of you looking out for your future. What can you do? Rise up.
