For the reason that:
(1) The US has had most of its economic, political and social decisions made by white people for the past 350 years of its history (yes, US history before the 1787 signing of the US Constitution is US history).
(2) Even after the Civil Rights movement, US political, social and economic decisions are made by white people.
(3) Even though these facts indicate that "the US should do this" can very easily mean "white people should do this", ASIDE FROM THAT, it is very likely that black people could be using the "US" and "White People" interchangeably, REGARDLESS of what the US actually is in truth.

All I'm asking is for a simple substitution be made and for the
Black speaker/writer/leader be named along with the White person s/he suggests Whites "might try taking" advice from.
EXAMPLE:
Black person [insert their name] says, "Whites might try taking some of [White person's name] advice..."

Dominant culture is code for white. She is implying in her statement that white people need to take "social disparity" (which is code for
racial disparity IMO) seriously.
