In 2021, does anyone seriously believe blacks are oppressed?
American Thinker ^ | 06/16/2021 | Bob Weir

President Obama's attorney general, Eric Holder, while in office, said the United States is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race relations. He went on to say that, although there have been improvements in race relations, our country is still socially segregated.

It was kind of odd to hear that from our country's first black A.G., appointed by our first black president. After all, tens of millions of whites voted for Obama against his opponent, John McCain, a white guy. Therefore, if more than half the nation wanted to be represented by a black man, wouldn't that indicate that racial barriers had been taken down? Add to that the fact that Obama was re-elected over another white guy when he bested Mitt Romney in 2012.

The irony of Holder's comments is that his boss became a racially divisive leader during his eight years in office. Moreover, five years after he left the White House, our country is dealing with black hatred toward whites on an unprecedented scale.

Black Lives Matter, a group that openly hates whites, tell us we must not say "all lives matter" because that is racist language. In other words, the only lives that matter are black lives. Interestingly, that roguish gang of extortionists never comments on or actively works to deter the massive number of black lives lost, at the violent hands of other blacks, each year in major cities across the country.

Yet if a black thug is killed during an encounter with a white police officer, most often when resisting arrest, it's immediately leapt upon as a propaganda tool to bash all of white society.

By the beard of Joy Behar’s blackface character, there must be no fooling around about this.

Of all those videos I’ve seen of police shooting blacks during routine traffic stops, there was only one where the guy was not literally asking for it via his actions. And in that case the cop was prosecuted fully for the crime.

It’s not an issue.

Frankly, if they would just include the Chris Rock video in all driver’s training classes as a requirement before you can get a license, it might save a lot of lives. ;)

Great video of a black man with 2 degrees. He’s awesome.

Sure they are, only by one another.

There is nothing of lesser value among "Oppressed" blacks as another black.

I work at a fortune 500 business. There’s a young woman that repeatedly doesn’t show up for work without notice.

My boss said “I put in a request to HR to have her terminated, but in today’s culture, it is almost impossible to fire a black woman.”

ALL of our elected and appointed set aside the Constitution so Obama could be sworn in as he is not a natural born citizen.

Apparently that wasn’t enough to prove we are not racists.

Blacks haven’t been oppressed for many, many years.

Blacks are indeed oppressed.
They are oppressed by the soft tyranny of low expectations.
They are oppressed by community organizers, who work like the devil to keep black communities in place for political purposes, as a voting bloc.
They are oppressed by race-based favoritism in distribution of government largesse.
They are oppressed by affirmative action, which suggests, not so subtly, that without it they couldn’t compete.
They are oppressed by the NBA and NFL, which hold them as slaves. Some black players have so stated, so they must be right.
They are oppressed by lowered levels of PO-leece protection of their neighborhoods.
They are oppressed by BLM’s demands that all blacks toe their marxist line of drivel.

A couple of years ago, a black University of Georgia teacher's assistant grabbed headlines when he said, "Some white people may have to die for black communities to be made whole."

Didn't that actually happen back in the early 1860's, including the President?

They oppress themselves. The high school graduation rate in Rochester NY, a Dem stronghold, is about 45%. That’s totally disgusting. The demographics...guess.

If blacks were actually afraid of cops you’d think they’d be a little better behaved

“In 2021, does anyone seriously believe blacks are oppressed?”

Is that a rhetorical question? Seriously!!!

I mean, it’s near on 50 years now with Affirmative Action. Degrees, loans, medical plans, housing, favored status in the courts, favored status in employment....etc., all handed out like popcorn for US minorities!!
