Why does it seem that Black people can never get ahead in America?

[Poitier]

There have always been radical whites and advocates.

And their numbers and power has waned for decades.

You have statistics that prove this? Share. I have an open mind.

If you read any books about the Antebellum South, Reconstruction or Jim Crown then walking outside should be all the proof you need.

Or if you were African American, you could simply ask your grandparents and older kin.

A silent racist is still a racist. A Klansman in a suit is still a klansman. I'm not convinced the numbers have waned.

Hence the term "radical"

A person can hate me all they want but if they don't have the gull to do me physical harm and I can find a way around their economic embargo then I don't give a damn

They can do you physical harm if you keep hanging around them. Read the thread titles in the first page and tell me if they don't.

Anything possible but we can only deal with the reality.

I can't help you if you think radical violence by Whites in 2015 is anything like slavery, antebellum south or jim crow.

It's been 400 years. The fact that we're still dealing with some of these issues is insane. And in spite of this so called progress (i.e. It's not legal to kill Blacks anymore but we'll do our best to get you off if you do) the lack of progress and regression in parts is alarming. Regression that's a result of the hundreds of restrictive laws all over the country that are still in place, coupled with the still racist majority who now kill us with the pen because they can't do it as much with gun. I get it, we can continue to strive. Maybe we need our own country.

When you study history and realize that man is 60,000 years old then you realize it isn't insane given that AAs have only been somewhat free for 60 years.

We're not talking about "man." We're talking about African-Americans. And after 350-400 years, we're "somewhat free." That alone should make you not want to spend another day among them.

African Americans are some different species and are subject to the same cyclical trends that humans have endured for 60,000 years.

Finance represents power. If whites see themselves losing power, of course they are going to kill. They think along the lines of: "How can a ****** be superior to the white?"

As the economy continues to crumble...

You will see more whites start to "radicalize"/join far-right orgs and become overt with the racism . The 1st group of people of people their going to come after will be us.

 

[Red Shield]

Both of these groups are way more powerful now in the US than European Americans.....fact
