Probably. He would need public support for anti black legislation to be pushed through. Cop killings and BLM protests have driven race relations back decades. Incidents like that would make it easier for Trump to act.
They could really do a lot of good if they just focused on black on black crime and education for the black community instead of blaming others for every problem. Don't get me wrong, there are idiots who hate blacks as a race, but if they can educate themselves internally, they will change a lot of opinions.
TBF, that's the reason everybody is mad at everybody. The good blacks don't seem to be monitoring the good blacks, the good Muslims don't seem to be monitoring the bad Muslims, the good whites don't seem to be monitoring the bad whites. That's where EVERBODY'S problem lies.
We all tell others to change but have no willingness to change ourselves. IMO, this is just instinctive human behavior. We do it both on a large scale and a personal scale. And we are all guilty of it.

At the same time claiming you care about black lives and ignoring the biggest taker of black lives to focus on police brutality..is what makes people angry at BLM.
Also are you saying it's racist because it isn't true or because it is true? Or is it that it is racist whether true or not?

No, you're telling them that they are also the problem. Who said that that there haven't been any bad shootings? Telling people that they need to contribute to fixing their problems isn't racism.

I doubt that's true. People were angry with BLM before they came up with the excuse that black people are the real problem in order to justify disliking them.
Whether its true or not isn't the issue. You trying to sidestep their concerns and make it about something else so that you can ignore their legitimate grievances while also trying to make black people look like they're the violent ones instead is pretty racist imo.
