Not sure if a few unnecessary killings per year in pathological neighborhoods of a 300M-head country is the root cause of anything either. I think the real problem is that the SJWs are right and America is basically a social construct which doesn't actually exist. And that decolonization movement which brought us master/slave and oppressive mathematics is yet another attempt to save the world by newspeak and wishful thinking.

(Also, some of those recent famous cases were hardly even unjustified and when it comes to Floyd, the officers got fired next day so there goes your impunity. That's just life in pathology for you, I bet none of the well-off white educated liberals who complain would go police some shithole area themselves to show how its done right.)

I'm just waiting for all the Dr.Who episodes that contain "The Master" to be removed from streaming services now. And Marvel to introduce a new super hero 'The Slave'.

And to take a leaf out of the Simpsons book, I'd vote for

Parasite & Worker.
