Thanks for your thoughts and your prose. Always insightful and a pleasure to read as well. I highlighted this line because it shows the subtlety that sometimes goes unrecognized in the way we talk about racial justice in the US. While the leadership of and energy begins this movement is Black, mass movements in the US require white involvement if they are going to become widespread. From that point of view the question of “what took you so long” is not rhetorical, as you say, but a real one that needs to be answered for the momentum to actually lead to lasting change.
