Keep in mind my point was that the political emphasis on race is at a high point.

I agree that if activist put a lot of emphasis on this and make it more visible that this feeling will be stronger. That doesn't negate the point above, it supports it.

Sure, people can argue over how productive the additional attention is for actually resolving issues, but that's not what I'm trying to do. I merely staying that attention is very high right now

A high point compared to what? The 90s? You have some recency bias in your understanding of this topic.

You didn't make a point, you said something was 'interesting' which I commented on because its really not, it just makes sense.

I think you're mostly trying to backtrack a hot take


I'm honestly not sure what part of what I said you are objecting to.

People are more aware than in the 90's. You don't find that interesting but I do. Cool?

My point was that the US cares about race a lot right now. Generally and relatively. Do you disagree?

If you have a central point you are trying to convey, stop beating around the bush and say it.
