My Black friends and colleagues in the USA have a similar phrase that is even more subtle and is the result of several hundred years' experience:

My fellow humans, the murder of an innocent human this AM in MPLS is just the latest outrage. Let's not forget that MAINE IS NEXT ... especially with Trump's obsession with Somalians and labeling their country as "sh*thole" and "garbage."

I am INFURIATED right now with the MPLS murder today. But I'm too far away from the action to a make boots-on-the-ground difference.

ICE has now murdered a subdued suspect IN COLD BLOOD who was of absolutely no possible harm to them.
Up until this point, I mentally classified Bovino's thugs as the SA - with green shirts instead of brown shirts.
