‘If the Black American civil rights establishment is successful in having the monument taken down . . . do they, do we, as a branded people living in a hostile land, merely 12% of the total US population . . .do we understand, do we fully grasp, in all-reality that well-earned and deserved action . . . is an aggressive chessboard move?’
A few years ago I heard someone interview a young black man who was shocked when he was told that Blacks only make up 12% of the US population. He lived in a predominately Black neighborhood and assumed the rest of America was the same as where he lived. He thought Blacks were the predominate race in America and was ready for the race war until he heard the actual demographics.
I am starting to realize that I’ve greatly under estimated the level of ignorance and stupidity.
