Yep. That sure is a good idea, as is taking in what you have to say. Sorry for being unresponsive, but I stopped knowing what to think about all this. The little I think now is not really a positve outlook.

Yeah, you would need an honest debate. I don't quite think it can be had. Why I think that has unpopular takes in it, like believing that pointing to systemic racism won't cut it and is not the whole explanation either. "You" (the US) also seem to have a culture of violence, for example, which at times might be a bigger culprit than inherent racism, which might just come as an easily persuable byproduct. You have a culture of uncompromising bipolar thought. Which is - initially - the reason why I figured so much defense/non-defense regarding riots; after all, it's the liberal or at least anti-Trump side that does the rioting. But maybe that's not such a hot take after all.
The "other side" now muses about deploying the military in the cities. At this point, my thought process too shifts towards not being on this side by any means, and hence the riots are a tad more justified... and so it goes. It's a spiral.

I mean, damn, those Trump ideas and those pictures are hard to swallow. The opposite of healing.
