It is what it is.
This country's fate was sealed the day they compensated slave OWNERS instead of their victims.
The fact that it's even *close* tells you everything you need to know about the future of this country. If you're black, you will just remain in survival mode. You came from people who were targeted for lynching. Murdered in cold blood, and tortured relentlessly. The blood of survivors runs in your veins and you will survive this country's death.
Whenever they could have chosen justice, they chose power. Whenever they could have chosen innovation, they chose the status quo. White people decided if they can't exclusively control America NOBODY should. They'll destroy the whole thing before they ever choose to live with us as equals because from the beginning and to this DAY white people are told that black people exist for their use. That we are a product to be used and thrown away when no longer needed. This is what I expect from a country started to make life easier to rich white men.
