NORMAL FOLKS know why you need a comic strip to say the same intellectually dishonest things you say with words
You're basically part of a school of thought that believes slavery in this country wasn't so bad, the west brought "civilization" to Africa, racism ended after the civil war, life was never meant to be fair, the rich are rich because god loves them, the civil war wasn't about slavery, the north attacked the south, you are just one lottery ticket away from having it all.
That's not "Normal Folks".

how long has slavery been over? how long is everything wrong in these peoples lives going to be dumped on the other people living in this country. 100 years isn't enough to go make something of yourself. it's beyond pathetic and people fed up with you already. go get a life

Systemic racism still exists, it's just not as bad as it was pre 1970. No thanks to folks like yourself.

As a Filipino I feel for the African-American since we also knew how it felt like to undergo lies and oppression.
After the Philippine-American war, President Mckinley was quoted in saying that the "Filipinos need to be civilized, Christianized and taught democracy"
And the ironic thing is that, in order to spread democracy, the Americans obliterated the democratically elected First Philippine Republic, they also claimed to want to spread Christianity to the heathen Filipinos, when in fact we were already Christian since the 1500s and we were to be "Civilized" when we were already home to civilizations far older than in America.
The Americans lied, cheated and then ruthlessly massacred my people once.

So, considering our history. We feel very deeply with the issue of black welfare and black rights, considering that we too were trampled upon and desecrated by an overbearing oppressive system.
However, hearkening back over and over to the past will not change anything. Instead, we should take a more progressive approach and learn to heal and forgive old wounds and also, moving forward.
Yes, the common American will never get to feel the pain and struggle of being black, but blacks should not linger in self-pity and pull themselves out of it.
There is a saying: "Victory has many fathers, while defeat is an orphan". If African-Americans can't be strong for themselves? Who else will? People should stop living in pity.
Nevertheless, you have a mission to serve as a conscience to the white man.
And tell them to stop their bloodthirsty oppression. If we don't stand together, then the opression of, the slavery in Louisiana, the massacre of Native-Americans, the extermination of the Hawaiian royal family, the Philippine-American War, the Vietnam war or Iraq war will simply continue to repeat itself over and over again.
Stay strong, stay vigilant.

Not a gun?The most dangerous thing in America is a Black man with a library card.Gimme a break. An educated Black man is a threat to the white racist system constructed here in the US. Practically everyone knows that.an educated Black man is only a threat to Progressives. And of course an educated Black man's education is worthless if he allows himself to be a petty, race-baiting Progressive brainwashed loser anyway....................like somebody here.....................ijs
Like the father on the TV show blackish.you carry a chip on your shoulder because it makes you feel good. it has nothing to do with the state of race relations today, or your opportunities, or lack of them, for success
Nope. There are us Americans and then you God damn amerciansGET that title. a message from BLACK AMERCIA
and here I thought we ALL JUST: AMERCIANS.
Who knew some were more special than others
