“But the Americans!” is what our centrists and right-wing use as an excuse to do nothing while things get worse.

Exactly, and it's an even bigger problem here in Canada, since we're right next door to the U.S. and have many cultural similarities.

White liberals constantly deflect attention from our own deep systemic racism and police/government violence by pointing out that at least we're not as bad as the U.S.

I mean … um … sure. We're also not nearly as bad as Russia, North Korea, or Israel, but I don't think any of those comparisons grants us bragging rights.

Two Chicago police officers were investigated for sexual misconduct — then promoted.
