The current protests are not about past wrongs. George Floyd's homicide is a recent event. Breonna Taylor is recent. Income and housing disparity is current. Trump's threat to Obamacare is happening now. The call for police reform is because of current encounters. The argument that there is a focus on the past has no basis in fact. One can draw a timeline of abuses, but the call for change is because of things happening in 2020.

If only that were so you wouldn't be arguing on another thread why Princeton has expunged Woodrow Wilson's name and there wouldn't be attacks on statues of Christopher Columbus.. You are gaslighting yourself just like Trump does.
Actually I happen to think everyone could use some advice from this essay, including myself, and that's why I posted it. A psychology of victimhood had already invaded our culture before Trump ramped it up a lot more.
