If you have some time, please google "The three Pillars of White Supremacy" and read that paper. Afterwards I'd be interested in hearing your views on it.
I am currently looking for writings on the lost diaries of Dr. Livingston- you know, the famous Dr. Livingston. He was one of the original abolitionists and explorer who traveled throughout Africa writing on what he witnessed during the height of the slave trade. Both writings give great insight to the whos, hows and whys of structural racism. I think you will also find, there are many more peoples to be angry with as it is not simply an institution of the United States and that agitating for violent change is going to be a losing battle. A battle that is only going to end in more deaths of people of color.
We must work through the system to change the system as many generations have worked their entire lives. There's a long way to go, perhaps many more life times but it must not be done in the violent manner this young woman is supporting- if not, we risk the destruction of all who fight to eliminate it.
