I knew black fatigue was coming with entertainment starting in 16. Especially with period pieces. Same with black fatigue there is lgbt fatigue (I think I saw a chart where acceptance level dropped). Also how many times have you seen a movie with a female lead and decided to watch something else?
It's a good film in and of itself but the movie reveals the zeitgeist of the times. An era in which the citizenry has had to live through what was at the time a three decade long crime wave largely driven by blacks. It is a movie about just going out into the streets of New York at night and shooting black men, and genuinely being able to have supreme confidence that whomever you shot was a violent criminal.
This is the cultural frame of mind that gave rise to the Biden Crime Bill. It is the cultural frame of mind that resulted in nearly a quarter of all adult men in the nation being Klan members at one time.
It is the cultural frame of mind that is rapidly rebuilding itself right now in front of us.
Every single white person that I know and associate with, is what would be called a "racist" twenty years ago. Even by themselves in many cases.
I’ve had some white friends who have told me that I’m the only black person they talk to now (I’ve known these people since we were teenagers).
I like Death Wish and it’s a good movie about fighting back when the law doesn’t care.
Sadly I’m seeing what you are seeing. I’m glad I grew up in Oklahoma and since getting out of the Air Force, Texas suburbs. I do remember the culture shock when visiting my grandfather who lived in the inner city (once nice neighborhood that had deteriorated badly) and seeing people in their 20s and 30s just sitting around on weekdays. I was so used to seeing people going to work where I grew up I didn’t realize there was a whole other world out there.
As I was taught growing up (by the black guys I played rugby with and worked with) there's a huge difference between being black and being a nigger.
I think only the worst real racists would blame you or any other normal black people. It would be like blaming American whites for Soviet Russia or Hitler.
I think a lot of people are just becoming less charitable in their interactions in that they don't just automatically assume someone is a good person. Which should be the default anyways. We've been so unrealistically peaceful in the world for decades.

This was before Floyd.
There's a movie I bring up when I see this topic.
Death Wish. The 1974 version.

I am black and I'm not charitable to black people unless they're old or professionals otherwise I'm suspicious
