We are here because white people got uncomfortable. Any time in history white people got uncomfortable people either died or there were wholesale changes to the way our society operated. We are literally repeating history. After slavery. During the reconstruction. Southern whites lost their golden goose and were unable to continue operating as they did prior. All those slave owners became the poor, and the blacks, having all the trade skills(sound familiar), began to thrive. White people, upset about the fact that blacks were beginning to do well in society, began to take matters into their own hands once the Northern soldiers pulled out. They burned and pillaged about 60 locations across the south and put blacks back in their places.
However, after putting black people back under foot, the country soon realized that it didn't make their lives better. That's when they came after the Oligarchs. Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Morgan, and Rockefeller were the more well known ones. They came after them with antitrust laws, a tiered tax system, and a whole host of other things. That and the stock market crash started the middle class boom that lasted until Reagan.
Now we are right back to the dumb shit that happened circa 1880. White people are mad about the direction of the country. Misguided, they are attacking brown folks once again mainly in the form of Hispanics. However, just like before, they will find out that it's actually not the brown folks that are the problem. As soon as they get done deporting and getting the browns back under foot, they will turn their sights to the Musks and Bezos of the world just like they did before. History is nothing if not repetitive. Now I know all of you know the history, but reading it again sometimes helps to paint the picture.
