This pandemic of civil violence is more widespread than anything seen during the Black Lives Matter movement of the Obama years, and it will likely have an even deadlier toll on law enforcement officers than the targeted assassinations we saw from 2014 onward.
From Ta-Nehisi Coates to the New York Times's 1619 project, the constant narrative about America's endemic white supremacy and its deliberate destruction of the "Black body" has been thoroughly injected into the political bloodstream.
Far from destroying the black body, whites are the overwhelming target of interracial violence.
Whites committed 14.4 percent of all interracial violent victimization, or 91,470 felonious assaults on blacks.
If white mobs were rampaging through black business districts, assaulting passersby and looting stores, we would have heard about it on the national news every night.
Why are the Minneapolis police in black neighborhoods? Because that's where violent crime is happening, including shootings of two-year-olds and lethal beatings of 75-year-olds.
Just as during the Obama years, the discussion of the allegedly oppressive police is being conducted in the complete absence of any recognition of street crime and the breakdown of the black family that drives it.
