Opinion: Plenty of work to be done regarding racism in US

Mr. Washington certainly was prescient.

I wonder if Ms. Davis even knows who he is?

I agree that there is plenty of work to be done combating racism in the U.S. The first place to start is with the Black community and eliminate all vestiges of Affirmative Action and all preferential treatment for Blacks and minorities.

I got to “the amazing Angela Davis” and stopped reading. No point.

I have given up trying to be decent because our Country ended racism way too long ago and since the 60’s has thrown upwards of one trillion dollars towards helping minorities get ahead. Since Caucasians were a super majority back in the 60’s we showed our willingness to get over it and move on towards a population that did not care about skin color. We could just as easily stomped them out of existence.

The problem is the minorities realized they could extort even more money from us by screaming “racism” rather than buckling down, learning, and working hard. Being lazy and having most everything given you them while using the race card has made them the defacto ruling class, much like some countries in Africa where a minority tribe ruthlessly rules over the majority.

I will not bend any more and I will not play nice around these lazy, corrupt, thieving people.
