On HK's point
I don't have an answer on how we can get the masses to care and be accountable. But it may be challenging to get to that point, because there's such a pervasive victimization mentality that exists in some of our communities: "the Man is doing this to us."
Years ago, I recall reading about black politics and the author of that column talked about the opportunity strain and the resentment strain. The opportunity strain would say that we need to get our own house in order, while the resentment strain emphasizes victimology.
