I think we are beyond the tipping point, people are recognising the damage racism does to the national and social fabric. Things are changing, but like fighting corona, it requires national leadership and laws, this concerns the fundamental constitutional rights of all the people. The government has an interest in reducing social division so that it does not adversely affect policy or national security, through foreign interference, it weakens the country and makes it vulnerable. Policy needs to not just check racism, but nip it in the bud by educating the young, in addition to the social pressure being applied by a larger national social context.
I keep stressing organization and leadership to empower people, Trump sits on top of the greatest administrative apparatus in history and is useless as tits on a bull. He is too stupid to use the levers of power and unique information sources that the massive government of the USA provide, he rules alone using his "gut" and ignores the council of the wise, the machinery of government is largely unused for every issue from covid to racism. Trump can't lead and America suffers, the CDC is muzzled and instead of leading the response with daily briefings, are silenced and now almost useless, no preparations were made and Trump refused to lead because he doesn't have a clue, as to how, or even why he should. Almost 40% of registered US voters want to give him another 4 years to complete the destruction of the country, maybe they want the confederacy to arise again like a phoenix from the ashes and graves of the past. Perhaps they want to make the brown people "go away" and make America white again (like it used to be, with poor invisible segregated blacks).
