Saying "the US" as a way of lumping in everyone together as if we are all sitting here scheming ways to utilize black people unfairly is pretty disingenuous. It's a lot like saying "The Jews" crucified Jesus. There is no factual content being put forward. It's purely intended to be offensive.

Sometimes, the truth is offensive. Being comfortable with the privilege granted by a racist system is, itself, racist. Progress has never been made by allowing the powerful or privileged to remain comfortable. Sometimes you have to shock people to get them to see a different point of view.

You would probably make your point more effectively if you could A) recognize that you aren't helping your case by being offensive toward allies who are not actually the people you are condemning and B) make use of specific details about actual events rather than just making it seem like everyone is guilty. If everyone is guilty then no one is, in reality, guilty. It's like saying all men are rapists or everyone who masturbates is offending the sacred trust of god. This way of replacing argument with attempts to trigger people is getting no one closer to goal that every one actually wants, which is justice.

When you say "the US" and then make an offensive comment as if none of us have ever fought for justice for anyone, most people just tune you out as obviously wrong.
