What did MLK make very clear? Can you elaborate? The discussion is about teaching kids in school, and teaching them the true nature of such a huge part of our history.

Systemic racism? As in " the white man keeping the black man down"? Um.  No...

SOME white men are absolute fucksticks and treat non-whites as inferior. No question. I believe MOST white men ( people) consider people with a skin color other than their own to be equal - and capable.

So I don't think it' s systemic.

MLK made it clear that people are people. The color of their skin means nothing - but their character can only be seen in their actions and how they treat others.... He threw in a bit too much Jebus woo for me - but that aside I find him to be otherwise fundamentally correct.

The problem as I see it is the blurring of past and present.

Yeah - it sucked donkey dick that people in this country were enslaved.

But - just being of the same skin color as those oppressors does not make anyone alive today guilty or responsible for those crimes.
Yeah, well then it is my opinion that you don't "know the score". At all. Whatsoever.

Listen to black people. Really really listen to them. Believe what they say.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
