How would you interpret this passage, what comments related would add to this explanation?

"This swarm of super-predators never materialized in the late 1990s. Violent crime had

already begun its dramatic decline by the time I stared at Smurf demanding that Walkman in

1996. Homicides had dropped to their lowest levels since the Reagan era, when intense crack-

market competition and unregulated gun trafficking spiked the rate. But crime bills have never

correlated to crime any more than fear has correlated to actual violence. We are not meant to

fear suits with policies that kill. We are not meant to fear good White males with R-15s. No,

we are to fear the weary, unarmed Latinx body from Latin America. The Arab body kneeling to

Allah is to be feared. The Black body from hell is to be feared. Adept politicians and crime

entrepreneurs manufacture the fear and stand before voters to deliver themmessiahs who

will liberate them from fear of these other bodies" (Kendi 76/Chapter 6).
