Yep. I remember Thomas Sowell talking about the people who endlessly talk about slavery that ended over 150 years ago but don’t lift a finger to help actual current slaves.
Remember when black people thought they would get “reparations” under Obama and instead got to not give a fuck when their black “brothers” were mass enslaved in Libya due to Obama? It’s hilarious how Africans grew wise to this and openly despise “Black Americans” and their culture.
Yep and speaking of Africans it’s funny to see the number of successful African immigrants in America who don’t seem to be bothered by all the white supremacy or institutional racism everywhere
To be fair, their argument is that American blacks are the victims of "systemic" racism and "generational racism" and the lack of "generational wealth." There IS some truth to the generational wealth argument.
The success of African immigrants does give sound evidence against many of the "racism" and "systemic" claims, but the generational wealth is still a lagging area for blacks.
Of course they won't talk about black-on-black crime, consistently lagging black educational success (i.e., standardized testing) across socioconomic lines, etc.
I mean I get it about generational wealth. I’m black and I understand that my great grandparents didn’t have opportunities that I have but my problem is seeing young black ppl who act like nothing has changed. You are right about your other points. I know it may not be the same but I’ve talked to people whose grandparents came with nothing as refugees with nothing or like at Europeans who came after civil war. Not quite the same but still a good example of the opportunities here if you work for it.
My great grandfather was born in the south in the 1890s and ended up owning 3 small businesses. He had very little schooling but encouraged his kids to get as much education as possible and to read.
So yes there is truth to the generational wealth issue but I have major issues to those living today who act like they are experiencing what their ancestors did.

The best part is that Obama basically gave reparations to Indian tribes through legal settlements.
It basically destroyed them.
