I know minorities are prosecuted by the state, but outside of the state, what protects the black man in Alabama, the Yazidi in Raqqa, or the trans girl in Charlotte?

The question needs to be reframed - would there be "minorities" without a state?
Without the liberal state difference would not be institutionalized as a threat or a means of defining who gets to participate fully in the community.
Thus, it is only when we start thinking outside the box/cage of the state can minorities in the existing state-system be protected. The question remains though, how to educate those who are deeply embedded in the state-system of hierarchies and identities of difference to start to see the Other as a fellow human and not a threat...
