I don’t think it’s anywhere near being played out yet.
Even when reforms get passed they end up being challenged in the courts or not funded enough to enact. Change is a long slog.

But what is their/your mission statement? your goals...all revolutions have specific goals...1 in 6 of the rioters are black...the rest are white so this is not a 'black revolution' it's 'white'... so what are these people told before they go out on a mission/riot/torching? I think it's a trojan horse...the leaders of the movement say it's all about black lives but ignore all the black lives that are gunned down everyday...I think it's more to get the blacks to buy into the movement so that they will vote democratic...the democrats will then forget about them until the next election...I think the white guys that are funding the movement are doing so to gain more power and money.

If Trump and Mitch were in charge of the Democrat cities and states where all the riots and looting occurred, the SHTF would not have happened. It was allowed by the Democrat mayors and governors.

Individual day to day lives will not be much different. The biggest thing is you will pay a lot more in taxes. You will lose a good chunck of your investment portfolio, which for people who do not know that means your 401k or IRA in most cases. Your children will lose 1/2 of their inheritance. You will have to get accustomed to more white man bad everywhere. You will lose independent information availability, as freedom of speech will be even more limited than it is now. If one of the 4 conservative or 1 middle of the road SCOTUS members dies off then they will load the SCOTUS up with a permanent liberal outcome and that is the single biggest threat. That changes everything.

None of what I posted is conspiracy theory stuff. They are just basic items the left has run on. I did not even get into the more extreme stuff. One more thing is the one good thing about True is that he is anti-war. If Biden wins, plan on getting into another ground war.

There’s no revolution that I can see. Angry people are protesting and want change in specific areas. Policing is a giant issue and needs to be reformed. Very few people disagree. A slate of changes are working its way through Congress and state and city governments. We will see if these changes make a difference and if bad police get prosecuted. Police departments seem to be overfunded and under trained and DAs are in cahoots.
Most industries are now more aware of words and phrases that are hurtful to minority consumers. There is also an underrepresentation in board seats, c level positions, and equality with pay. They will make changes because their consumers will demand it and they are being called out and embarrassed.
Statues are offensive to some minorities. Nyc has been taking down such identified statues for the past few years. This will continue and become more widespread.
Actually it seems like these are all positive and necessary changes. As minority populations grow in this country the power should be shifting in kind.
Most working poor have legitimate concerns with healthcare, affordable housing, education, voting. Nothing new here. I’m glad it’s coming to light. The problem is going to be how we pay for it.

Have you heard of the American city pronounced "See At Uhl" ?

Have you seen the statues destroyed by angry mobs of Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, Christopher Columbus?

Have you seen Ben & Jerry's band together with companies like Northern Face to implement censorship on facebook?

Have you seen the mob trying to get economists and intellectuals fired who compare the BLM organization to flat earthers for trying to abolish policing?

The US has one of the higher GINI coefficients in the industrialized world. Our income inequality statistics don't paint us in a good light.

Out of curiosity, do you disagree with a country providing those things being a goal?

Enjoy your Orwellian utopia, I hope you get everything you asked for.
Well you right on one point. The youth will eventually take over. It will be their world to shape.
