But don't think you're sitting so pretty that this government might not knock on your door and take your driver's licence away. They know the menace y'all pose to honest white American commuters 
As for black folks, they were screwed to begin with, screwed throughout history, and are screwed now. Their screwedness is not only ingrained in American institutions but in American culture. And yes, Trump has said disparaging things about them. Five minutes with Google will establish this for you. And even if he hadn't, the policies the Republican party espouses clearly further the institutional and cultural barriers black people face in the States. They'll just continue to be drugged, locked up, and disenfranchised as they have been for decades. |
yeah that's all true. But blacks voted for Obama in droves, did anything change? If not, is this absolutely unsolvable forever?
As for the philosophy you mentioned is very true. So as I said before, Asians are caught. Lumped with whites but not really, lumped with minorities but not really.
