Sanctions and direct warfare from the Iraq War has cost around 500,000 Iraqi lives. I don’t believe America would have waged such a war on a white country in this day and age. In today’s world we would have found diplomatic solutions to avoid WW1, the war that had just ended 100 years ago but we go carpet bombing on non-white countries for far less or even no reason at all. Since Vietnam our military operates strictly on the principle of white supremacy.
As for lynchings, our arrest and forced plea bargain no trial system and the war on drugs is a direct war on black people with some side white casualties. Putting non-violent drug offenders (who are afraid to go to trail) 10-20 year prison sentences where they’re subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological torture stacks up pretty damn well to lynchings. In fact, simply shooting unarmed blacks in the streets of America by our police force IS lynching. So, no, I’m not convinced progress has been made.
