As an old white man, I have lived in times and places where racism prevailed, and seen it first hand.
It's basically gone.
But America's Blacks seem to want to find racism wherever they can, and to exalt it, show it off, prove that it exists.
Exhibit A, of course, is the non-existent plague of police officers killing innocent Black Yoots for no reason. A mountain of statistics proves that this is a total myth; whites are actually MORE likely to be shot than a Black person under similar circumstances. The fact that this apparently happens once a year of so, is just a function of the number of police in existence, and the number of Blacks. And anytime it does happen, it becomes national NEWS.
On Sunday, there was a whole 60-Minute segment on the opening of a memorial to commemorate lynchings. (For unrelated reasons, I had the sound turned off, so I didn't catch all of it). Hello? Hello? This doesn't happen anymore. Why make a big deal of it NOW?
My personal belief is that Blacks in this country are trying to create the illusion that they are suffering from RACISM (which is why they are sucking the hind teat in so many areas), rather than acknowledging cultural factors that explain the poverty, criminality, educational issues, and drug issues.
But I could be wrong. I suppose.
