Racism remains forever the preoccupation of black Americans. As much as it has been a bump in the road, it has also served to clear the way for black excuses . And, above all. has become a security blanket, always there to villainize whites and assure blacks that were it not for racism, they could usurp white supremacy - and replace it with black supremacy! Which is why racism is as American as apple pie. Whoever is in control, would naturally attribute this power to those holding it being better than who could not wrest it away from them. Who's to dispute this? And so it goes. Justice is an abstract ideal that is never guaranteed in this impersonal indifferent world. Nor do all problems have viable solutions; just theories and opinions and fantasies. And for those waitin' on Jesus, = forget it. Bottom line: the strong survive. So the "what-black-folks-need to do" dialogue goes on and on and on ad infinitum... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (Back to the Cynic's Corner, my permanent domain. Hi, Delano, I'm still star gazing. Troy, where are you - hugs to Joy Rose!)

This a very important distinction to make. The refined racists use their ignorant white brethren as overseers, prostitutes and race soldiers. Beyond liquor and legalized dope, many black folks have been anesthetized into a false sense of inclusion and security. The refined racists use *status*, jobs, money and material things to 1) make incarceration more comfortable and 2) put down resistance. Yesterday, the POTUS gave an impassioned speech on gun control. He made a few *feel good* statements fully well knowing there will NEVER be legislation to reshape the 2nd amendment. No amount of mass shootings will force white folks to stop buying assault weapons. In fact, the violence in America reinforces white folks' *right* to bear arms. They have to be able to *protect* themselves. That is code for being prepared for a race war. That's also why it's extremely important to understand that political parties in America are two sides of the same coin. Neither party has ANY desire to undermine the system of racism.

Yep. It's not always easy but we have to stay on code.

@Pioneer1 Yes, the black populace in the usa has an element of blame, 100% correct. But the problem is, the kind of collective action you are referring to is not in the black populace of the usa. Look at this website. Most black people in the usa online are not members of a black owned website. Said people can't even organize together online, with no threat or harm whatsoever, so... offline. I do comprehend your point. but I think it leads to a larger problem. The black populace in the usa is a collection of individuals for the most part in 2022.
