The gentleman in the video makes one especially salient point by my mind - that for many black Americans, being constantly told by the democratic party and their allies that they're victims and dreadfully oppressed etc fucking sucks as they feel they've got good lives and are doing well and life is OK! They do not feel weak, abused and/or pathetic! So The democratic party and aligned BLM movement etc are in fact pushing black voters to the Rethuglican party due to their stances and pronouncements. Trump's second term seems assured. Heaven help us all.
I'll just add, that throughout my life, if there's one thing that I've fucking hated, it's people saying "poor you, poor you, I know your life must be dreadful compared to mine" - especially when they know next to fuck all about my life.
Blacks are not being told they are victims by whites. This is fucking nonsense!
And it isn't a matter of whites who support blacks or black saying "poor minorities"
Blacks are NOT looking for a hand out, or to falsely play victim. I don't know where the fuck you get this shit from.
Martin Luther King Jr was not saying, "We blacks want to be lazy and live off of whites." But the truth still remains, even with all the progress he fought for, there STILL is an economic and justice inequality. That isn't me being a white person feeling sorry for blacks, it is a fucking fact.
Blacks on average still make less. Blacks on average are far more likely to be charged and fined more harshly by our justice system than whites. It isn't a matter of feeling sorry for anyone, it is a matter of FACT.
Out of Wall Street, DOW, NASDAQ, and S&P out of all the top earners, what race do you think the majority are?
Out of those arrested in America, the truth is, that the respective races DO NOT commit crimes at higher rates than the other. But only blacks get arrested at a higher rate and charged more harshly for similar crimes.
Blacks don't want anyone to feel sorry for them. They just want the inequity to stop.
