It's really hard to explain to explain the on-code black solidarity that existed in the states in the 20th century especially since it doesn't exist today.
I recall when the verdict was announced, and there was live cam's of people watching the verdict in stores and in times square etc..
When it was announced, all the Black people jumped for joy and all the cacs stayed frozen like statues

Those days may be over
