I hear ya.
"Front street" to me means to call attention to something at any level. America has been called out over and over and over again throughout the years.
As far as I'm concerned, the attention is still very minimal. White people and news engines talking about it doesn't mean much in the longrun. This is a passing fad that hasn't had/won't have the huge impact that folks are pretending that it has/will have. Folks who are still looking for a quick fix of sorts need to keep searching or roll up their sleeves and do some real work toward change.
