The sad future of the democratic party

[dyresand]

I think the time has passed though, where minorities are content or willing to treat racism and bigotry like some abstract concept that has no originator or purveyor.

It is hard to tell a community that continues to be oppressed and victimized that it has to keep being nice and reverent to its oppressors in order to make change.

Okay, so I'm probably coming from a place of ignorance but is it really true that white people are somehow oppressing black people? How does that work..? Don't blacks have the same rights as whites? Add to that more diversity type of privileges.. So I'm just asking because it just doesn't add up.

It's hard to explain but its a majority no as for the oppression of black because white people are doing it.  However the other side of it is 
you can take a good hard look at the black communities and see the sort  of  trouble they are in job wise and see how much the cost of living is. 
I have lived in bad areas i have lived in good areas the problem is it is systematic racism.   If you look at the inner cities of America
they are failing education wise and poverty and  other things are on the rise. So the simple answer is no the system on the other hand works against people 
who want to make a decent living it's not just a black issue it's a white issue as well to simple put it's everyone's problem.
