@MontereyJack,
This view is wide of the mark. You have to realize that the reason why lots of white voters voted for the Democratic Party last year had nothing to do with BLM; they voted for Biden who's also white. Otherwise, it would have been a different result if the presidential candidate had been Kamala Harris. I'm not trying to belittle a black politician. I'm just telling you a fact. That's why the Democratic Party has to find another white presidential candidate in the next presidential election if Biden decides not to run.
Most Asian Americans would also prefer to vote for a white politician if his or her opponent is black; they don't trust black people. Some folk would call it ingrained thinking. Yet that's also a fact.
BLM is not going to change this, Jack. Black people have to find their own cultural roots instead of spending more time listening to awful rap songs full of grotty lyrics. I think that's what Toni Morrison would have told you. Unlike rappers who ask black people to vent their spleen , she wanted her African-American fellows to fly back to the history of their African ancestors to find out their real cultural identity just like Milkman in Song of Solomon, Song of Solomon also has a angry black man who decides to leave this crime-ridden world by flying off the building, which is another form of salvation for him since he belongs to a group that tries to get even with white people. In other words, Toni Morrison also didn't think that using violence was a way to solve racial issues. What she prized is cultural identity or black people's original roots.
Black people have the ability to fly according to Yoruba culture. That's why Toni Morrison mentioned Sugarman. Another black novelist suggested that some black men who refused to be slaves just flied away like birds after they jumped into the sea. It sounds like a fairy tale, huh? Well freedom is everything for anyone no matter he is black or not.
