      I imagine there's some comfort in imagining a future without racism and projecting that onto the present. Thinking if we just deny the truth, it doesn't exist. If history is erased, we don't have to deal with its consequences. However...

      Far too many people don't have the luxury of closing their eyes and ears. They feel it in their lives and can't act like what they see and know doesn't exist.

      They know their family was destroyed by deportation or incarceration. They know their loved one was denied safe harbor because of their religion. They know their son or daughter was shot because their skin color evoked fear

      They see the statistics about black applications for real estate or loans or employment being turned away because their name was Jamal and not James

      I love that great, brilliant artists have the power to imagine a better future. But artists can't be blind to the truth.

          I think you need to bloody well grow up & get over yourself. Many amazing black people have made big amazing contributions to this world. The future can be bigger & brighter for all races. Just get that damn chip off your shoulders and quit playing the blame game!

          Your white privilege is showing, Kathy. POC can’t get the “chip” off their shoulder because race wars are STILL going on. Open your eyes. Stop allowing your comfortability within your race to blind you. The people getting MURDERED on a daily basis, are fellow Americans.

          I know you Trumpsters only care about America’s ECONOMIC success, but America will NEVER be great unless white people like you open your eyes and recognize that just because the LAW says we’re equal with equal rights, doesn’t mean the system isn’t flawed. Racism is still here.

          Tell me one thing President Obama did for African Americans? Unemployment under President Trump lowest in History.

          I’m a conservative, so I didn’t agree with many of his policies + his arrogance and inability to engage the other side may have led to Trump.

          That said. - He killed Osama bin Laden. - His policies helped to end the 2008 financial crisis stared do to Clinton and under Bush. - He became the first African American to become President: That alone is profound in so many ways. Every black child knows it’s attainable, now.

          On the economy: “ As Obama's presidency continued and the economy recovered, the unemployment rate for African Americans sharply improved, dropping from 16.8% to 7.9% The trend continued, and it's since dropped further to 6.9%. That, of course, is what Trump is bragging about”

          So 2.9 isn't close to 3.0 that he predicted. Obama NEVER got 2.9% in his 8 years, not even close.
