Thank you for clarifying, I dislike what I'm perceiving as condenscion in your tone.

Whilst I think these comments are extreme, and absolute, they're not unfounded.

We distrust white people is a valid opinion. Perhaps they could've used a personal pronoun, however there has been a massive rupture in trust with the minority groups and white people, for hundreds of years.

Equity is sourced from knowing reality as it is, not as you wish it to be. In my opinion, the American model is a white supremacist model, it actively oppresses minority groups as second class citizens unworthy of an equitable voice, and burdened by a social welfare system.

People fighting this system are not inherently racist, they're fighting their oppression, which just happens to be upheld by white mentality, which is predominantly upheld by the lower middle white population.

What solutions would you offer to this situation?

Instead of slandering this author, perhaps you can offer your guidance?
