Until systematic oppression is 100% eliminated, I'm comfortable with tracing those problems to the doorstep of slavery, Jim Crow, brutal policing, harsher sentencing, red-lining, and in-general discrimination by white folks; I'm comfortable with laying those problems at the door of white oppressors. Once nothing more can be done about the oppression, maybe we can tell what any problems that are left are about.
The amount of white oppression hindering African Americans should be 0%. And then the country would still owe them for keeping them down so long. Justice is about redressing wrongs. We have a hell of a long way to go before things are square.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
