I think the sheer amount of damage the "Summer of Love" and Floyd did on the level of "let it go" that most people have in them cannot be measured. That and Covid eroding a lot of people's willingness to put up with anything.
Its certainly not enough, but I think a door was opened that is letting a lot of "wrongthink" in for the common person.
I’m hoping the summer of love opened some eyes. I can remember asking people who believed it was some “reckoning on race” to explain how one incident in Minnesota is some reckoning that causes worldwide riots. Of course they couldn’t answer
The thing is, I don't think it did on a conscious level. It wasn't big enough to make people openly know and acknowledge the change.
But it was probably the first time that a lot of America was forced to actually see with their own eyes the race problem. Its one thing to hear about, see little one off events, or the like. Its another to have wall to wall, daily coverage of some straight ghetto insanity.
People who live in a town with like 3 black people total weren't going to be fully bought in on a fucking golden coffin funeral, no matter how much you told them it was police brutality. They won't see looting, fires, and straight monkey behavior and completely think "no this is justified because X."
Outwardly they will say otherwise, because it was social suicide to do anything but and everyone is afraid that they are the only one thinking it in the room. But their subconscious is a lot harder to trick.
In addition to that, the discussion isn't as tightly controlled as it used to be. Even with all the censorship and shilling, people are still noticing things they aren't supposed to and talking about it. Which is why there's a push to kill anonymity online.
Because it isn't happening in darkness anymore. It is one aspect of Noticing™ that has been going on since 2015 or so, and once you Notice™ you can't unNotice™.
I would argue the proliferation of BODYCAM videos have been helping to realize that wait a second, a majority of the violent criminals are actually black men?
Disproportianate racial violence from blacks against whites has been going on for decades. Why is it being allowed into the discussion now, I wonder?

That is true. If they covered the Floyd riots like they did Jan 6 I’m sure it would be opened some eyes
