Yes the modern white does look out for his own kind, just like Jews, Hispanics, and Asians. Maybe not every individual, but most folks keep it in the family. Am I a delusional fool?

I'm in the top 10th percentile in terms of income for my age and gender. Even higher when it comes to being a Black man. I'm doing fine bro.

Obama's latest memoir is candid about the racism and dismissiveness of it during his presidency. Even our Black President of eight years didn't deny that so nice try trying to use him as an example.



You had him constantly calling him a Muslim, Communist, not born in this country, anti-American throughout his presidency.
Good man glad to see the white devil couldn't keep you down.

LOL Trump got it way worse my dude, was that because of the racist wypipo?

Wow Obama felt like some people didn't like him because of the color of his skin. What a revelation. LMAO.

Why would it be 50-50 when blacks are only 13% of the population?

50-50 isn't the point. A majority of big corporations are white ran. Walmart, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Wall Street, etc.

That's not to take away from their success, but their obstacles were far far less than blacks

Come on Big Mike. What did Thurgood Marshall have that the Baltimore drug dealer doesnt?

Was there less racism when Marshall was growing up in the 40's then in 2020? Why was he successfull
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Here's a thought that I keep repeating:

When you have the attention of the entire world and the media on your side and everyone is looking at you like a child on his birthday, maybe ask to fix the actual ****ing problem instead of throwing autistic chit around about white people and police for a change.

Instead of something completely retarded like defunding the police, rally around an end to drug prohibition

Maybe then for once the rich people wouldn't be able to use you like farm equipment without having to pay a price of their own

I and many other blacks never agreed to defunding the police. I also don't identify with BLM whatsoever. Not sure why you're pointing that out to me.

Not you as an individual but as a member of your community and group. I know individuals can't do much but at every single possible opportunity, focus on what could actually make a difference.

Reparations, kill all the white people, redistribution of wealth, it's never going to work out for you or any other common man. Ending drug prohibition and mass incarceration? Think of the possibilities. An opportunity for unity instead of zero sum game divisiveness as well

8 years of a black president, now a Democrat majority on all sides that would not exist without your group, and nearly 40 years since the policies of Reagan, AND YET

You're on the exteme edge. I don't agree with any of that. I've already said I'm against reparations and blacks needing to work hard

Plain, and simple...

Reperations is people who were never slave owners giving to people who were never slaves.

Many people who are here now who would be footing the bill either came here long after slavery, some have record of family members who fought, and died to free the slaves. many are from families who lived in states where slavery was illegal...
