Are you denying the fact that people in the US are actively working against those things right now? They are and have been since before the civil rights movement, they are the civil rights movement and they're still here, they never left and they never stopped fighting. You can be disappointed in the percent of the population that cares enough to do anything without completely ignoring the ongoing efforts of the people that do. You're right that many americans aren't affected, specifically because the people being hurt aren't their friends or neighbors or anyone they've ever met so it's easy for them to believe whatever bullshit justification they hear on the news. As that changes more of them will begin questioning those narratives and getting angry about it, and it is changing rapidly.
