I’m white and grew up in Oakland. My parents were divorced and I had some neighbors of questionable character. I went to the exact same schools and had the exact same teachers as the black kids. Still my family always told me I could do anything I wanted in life....and I did.
While white racism was a problem for black people up until the late 1950’s, it certainly isn’t a problem anymore. The problem is black people don’t believe in themselves, their country, or their future.
Unfortunately, so called black leaders then feed on and exploit these beliefs in order to obtain political power. In the end, black people are embittered by their political leaders, not inspired.
I suppose one day this pathetic cycle will end, but it’s the last thing the Democrats want to happen. The most powerful force in the Democrat party isn’t the fear of racism. It’s the fear that black people will figure out it doesn’t exist in any meaningful way anymore.
