Also people like John Brown pre civil war:

People like bringing up the institution of slavery in the USA but not the actions of the people who opposed it at the time.
Per capita their civil war killed the most of its own people compared to any other war the USA was involved in since - including WWI and WWII. |
Fair point. Hence why there are so many white americans backing up the protest. All I'm saying is, the anger comes from a very deep rooted cause, whether we like it or not. So when people ask "why isn't there an outrage when a white person is killed by a cop in the US", they need to look deeper than just that actual act itself.
