When an act of racially-motivated violence produced the largest (numerically) protests in United States history, and more white people are (estimated to have) turned out to these protests than black people (lower rate of course, but only by about 2x and that's mostly that's explained by political affiliation*), if your take-home message is "silence from the majority" and "colder than a winter snowstorm", there a problem of selective attention going on here.
There's a heck of a lot of human decency out there. Lot of apathy too, a lot of attention to one's own problems, and a heck of a lot of political polarization. But a lot of decency.
If you're trying to get your neighborhood Omega Level mutant to not go anti-villain, it's worth pointing that out.
Isn't part of the reason why you do the kind of work you do is to help shake people out of their complacency in imagining either that everything's decent, or that there's nothing they can do?
