A lot of people in America work on pointing out where redlining still exists. It was being litigated even last year [1].
China is not a responsive political system. It was designed to be responsive only over the long term, and Xi trashed even that with his dictator-for-life nonsense.
> conditions have worstened and when these shootings and lynchings happen now they dont even get mainstream news coverage
Sorry, what secret lynching are you talking about? We'd love to update the Wikipedia from its 1981 record [2].
