That’s basically what the ego stroking, absence of accountability, and giving blacks safe spaces is really all about. Inculcating the societal culture of segregation, with blacks actually thinking they are getting something out of it.
I try to tell them otherwise, so they come to understand that they are supporting their construction of societal prisons.
Sans a perpetual victim underclass, the democrat party would have no power and would cease to exist.

One of the rallying cries of the abolitionists here in the U.S. was pointing out how much whites hated the idea of whites being slaves on the other side of the world. If it's wrong for them to enslave whites then it's wrong to enslave blacks too. This abolitionist concept of treating others as you want to be treated yourself was a natural extension of the First and Second Great Awakenings.
So yeah, blacks today in the U.S. are better off than they would be if they were in Africa. But we can't let the left's race war cause us to knee-jerk react and say our race is better. Always the most truthful answer is that doing things God's way is better. What made the English speaking world special enough to abolish slavery is not our majority white skin, but that our ancestors got closer to God. What's making our present society decay is that we're getting further away from God.
That doesn’t make slavery OK. In the 19th century, the civilized world turned against slavery. Why it took so long is a valid question.
If Mychal was trying to impress me, he/she failed.
Reminds me of a story. I had a gen ed history course first thing in the morning the first term of my freshman year of college. Exams were blue book essays. My first exam came back marked in red as did many others in the course. I think everyone was flexing their vocabulary on their first college exam. I know I was. The prof gave a short speech about being “frugal” with language. He was a Scot and it was pretty funny when he criticized some of the blue books. It was very stereotypical of a Scot.
Then came the next exam. I had a horrendous cold. I was barely able to drag myself into class after a 5 am swim practice. I thought I failed the exam. I could barely string five words to form a sentence.
When the exams were returned by the prof, he withheld mine and read it aloud. I aced it. Simple. Effective. All the important facts. Very few multi-syllable words.
For some reason the title made me think of three-card monte.
I stoped at “… incongruous parallactic…”
Unless and until the true story of the “Civil Rights” movement is known, America will struggle with race and even then, I doubt there will be a great coming together. Tell the full unvarnished truth about King, Parks et al. Tell the truth of the communist funding of SNCC, CORE and the Freedom Riders. Let’s have a legitimate, open and frank discussion about the realities of race in this country. But that will never happen.
Woah woah woah there “mychal”- slow down with the $20 words there little feller-”

The only places that still have slavery are in Africa.
By some criteria there are more slaves in the world today than before our Civil War. And the majority of them are in Africa, and owned by Africans. Meanwhile Africans in the US flock to their derivative of the religion with a slavery manual for its ‘holy’ book. Crickets from them on the current status of their homelands.
What you do not understand is that a very substantial fraction of Americans descended from slaves find living among white people to be intolerable.
