In general, yea. Just gonna be more performative nonsense because they don't actually care about this, they care about keeping up the lie that America is about "freedom and liberty", who wholesale bought the lie but just want to break from this country's racist origins because it makes them feel icky to think about. They only care so far as it's convenient for them to do so; ask them to make any changes to their status quo, take some risks against the system for the sake of those who don't have the choice to avoid those risks, and suddenly you've gone to far.
Any that do actually want to change things most likely can't because of the socioeconomic conditions they face; they are stuck in a community that calls them crazy or, even if they do happen to have a small community of like minded people, they don't have enough access to the means by which to start building something useful.
There are a small number of people that have successfully been able to get something started trying to make things better around the country but they are so few and far between that it barely makes a dent.
