Explaining the meaning of a sentence

"But this protest has made the full American circle, from the object of racial prejudice to the promulgators." Could someone paraphrase and explain this sentence for me? Here is some context: "But much more dangerous is the overt racial profiling component to the protests — the railing against “white art” and “white coffee” as the enemy. What’s next, urging Latinos to avoid Anglo businesses anywhere in the prophylactic effort to combat possible gentrification infection? The vibrant L.A. art (and coffee) scene, thriving from Bergamot Station to Los Angeles Brewery and beyond, knows no racial or cultural barriers. But this protest has made the full American circle, from the object of racial prejudice to the promulgators."
