Race is a huge topic in Australia too, not least because 'white people' are invaders here. But, after waves of immigration, its part of Australian culture to imagine we live in a harmonious, egalitarian but distinctly beige society that functions smoothly and we all get along. Of course, its untrue. Most migrants to Australia are still culturally distinct and it takes several generations for 'assimilation' which is always achieved through acquiescence by and large.
In terms of black and white, I'm personally stuck in the middle and have seen parts of Australia where indigenous people live in worse conditions than seen in developing nations. Towns where people are only black and left with nothing but the occasional military intervention from the government. Forget desegregation, it's not even begun in those places, not even a whisper. Forget the Klan, there is no need, anymore than lynch parties for stray rabbits are required. Its a travesty, one of the greatest injustices earth has seen but everyone says Australia is multicultural and diverse and strong besides. Its really an Americanised Anglo monoculture to my eyes, and we've never even thought to sign a peace treaty with our first nation. What is the point, you don't accord peace to those with literally no bargaining power. You don't lynch those whose very birth hanged them.
Black people have more power in the US than could be dreamed of by my cousins suffering inter generational forced helplessness. On the other hand, when your darkness is largely washed out, you can sit in comfort as I uneasily do. It seems that the US often thinks its race issues are bigger and badder than other nations but your slaves were free nearly 150 yrs ago. Ours were finally considered human 50 years ago when largely white people decided it was so. We haven't even gotten started and its already too late.
I'm way more scared of the global monoculture the US has imported than I am of the KKK. You can feel it on bluelight which is dominated by Americans. Of course, you will feel like your issues should be discussed wuth utmost earnestness, the entire world has been having such explosive discussions for 80 years. Its kinda tiresome, hence I'm pretty convinced you aren't any closer to race war or tidal waves of lynchings than at any other time in your history of war, which is to save a hairs breadth what with the extreme earnestness the entire globe must MUST respect.
Not trying to tell you that its wrong to be earnest, but its wrongheaded to assume other non participants will ever "get it". The worlds had its fair share of "getting" America problems imo.
For me, a part of me almost wants to see the US implde, at least hypothetically. It might jyst save the rest of us. What a dreadful awful truth to address.
