By questioning their approach, you're trying to justify the status quo, which is what has gotten us George Floyd and all others.
You have to at least show how your approach is not the status quo; that is simply no longer acceptable.
Honor, transparency and accountability are the tools of reconciliation and justice.
From Socrates to MLK, Moses to Mandela, the moral duty has always been to reject that which is unjust to others even if it benefits yourself.
You're asking us to "understand" an immoral position - the privilege to hold unpopular opinions and benefit from laws and systems that support those opinions.
It cannot abide.

My position may be immoral from your perspective, but your imposition on my right to be an asshole is immoral to me. So you have a choice. Either work with me.. a person, who is somewhat sympathetic to your claims, or go the zealot route of 'it cannot abide'.
