1 in 3 Black Americans live in poverty, as opposed to 1 in 10 of White Americans...
Of course there is racism. There is intense racism and hateret from both sides - black and white.
figures dont lie, but liars figure. know this before touting said statistics.
now take that equation and factor in the overwhelming majority of whites to blacks in americas population.
and no, i do not carry an enormous bag of privilege for being white, and quite frankly thats quite a racist thing to say (assuming that the standard of hypocricy of "generalising whites is ok, just dont generalise anyone else" didnt exist). i wont drone on about my life's story but ill just say that at 31 im still waiting for my "white society privilege club" check to arrive in the mail.
its more about money.
