I think your complaints are completely valid.
But white America has created a race problem that isn't being dealt with in a productive way that could bring relief or results.
His complaints are completely bogus and he is a die hard racist himself. He's admitted to willfully denying opportunities to job applicants with "Black sounding names".
And his last complaint is the most telling, he/they want Black people to vote Republican? Why do you imagine that would be?
There are more white people on welfare than Black people and Black people do not
commit more crimes than whites. That is a fallacy that goes way back to their angst over the abolishment of slavery "except as a punishment for crime
whereof the party shall have been duly convicted". The second half of statement gave whites cover for them being merely accused of criminal behavior but per usual Blacks could be and were returned to captivity merely on an accusation. Additionally many new laws were created solely to control and oppress Black people and their lives, in some cases specifically in order to create a new free labor market to replace the one they had lost (slavery). This new labor market was known as convict leasing, but also peonage where Black people could be imprisoned for debt.
Imagine being returned to captivity for not having a job, or having a job but not having "acceptable proof" of one's employment"?
After the Civil War, slavery persisted in the form of convict leasing, a system in which Southern states leased prisoners to private railways, mines, and large plantations. While states profited, prisoners earned no pay and faced inhumane, dangerous, and often deadly work conditions. Thousands of Black people were forced into what authors have termed “slavery by another name” until the 1930s.
The Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1865, prohibited slavery and involuntary servitude, but explicitly exempted those convicted of crime. In response, Southern state legislatures quickly passed “Black Codes” – new laws that explicitly applied only to Black people and subjected them to criminal prosecution for “offenses” such as loitering, breaking curfew, vagrancy, having weapons, and not carrying proof of employment. Crafted to ensnare Black people and return them to chains, these laws were effective; *for the first time in U.S. history, many state penal systems held more Black prisoners than white* – all of whom could be leased for profit.
And by the way, I don't meet any of his exclusionary items on the list yet he treats me no differently than any other Black person on this board. Not that respect from racists is something that has value to any of us.
