They're not wrong. A person of color may be able to survive and succeed, but it's a lot tougher.

- angelzen 5y agoAlso true: The son of a coal miner in West Virgina is going to have a lot tougher path to success than the son of Sundar Pichai. And yet they don't teach their employees that 'America is a system of plutocrat supremacy'.
- allears 5y agoIt's really about class, not about race. Unfortunately, that son of a coal miner can get a haircut and a nice suit and pass for a member of the upper class. A person with brown skin, not so much.
- PinkMilkshake 5y agoI don't know if the issue is that their observations are incorrect. Many of the things they point out are true. The issue is that if you don't accept their solutions and their re-education programs (which strongly lean towards authoritarian and leftist) then you are still considered part of the problem. It's not that different from when politicians use states of emergency to push in policies they couldn't otherwise.
- starkd 5y agoThis may be true, but is the answer to stoke the flames by accentuating racial differences? This is a far cry from MLK's vision of a colorblind society.
