Same deal for white Americans persecuting racial minorities. As a white American that has felt some of the effects of being a different kind of minority (LGBTQ+), I say that if someone feels victimized by racial minorities, they should now understand what most minorities have to deal with every day, and are tired of. When a non-minority person never has to truly think more than twice about where they go, what they say about their personal life, or how they carry themselves to raise a facade to protect themselves from others, hiding who they are as a normal human being, then they are privileged. Because there are some that still can't understand that privilege, minorities still have to fight for civil rights equality and recognition. Anyone whom feels victimized by that may be part of the problem.
How do we lessen the number of people whom cannot understand why minorities are upset about the current state of society? We must educate all people when they are young and have not had hate and bigotry so deeply ingrained in their mentality yet, so that they can grow up into accepting, open-minded adults.
