In my last job many of the white workers acted as if they were really in support of BLM after the George Floyd murder. They often proudly stated that they took part in some of the actual protests. But when the company did Covid layoffs and it disproportionately affected African-American employees, the white folks were completely silent. They had weathered the storm because of their privilege/systemic racism. Ultimately, they showed their true color.
