Funny, I'm almost exactly your age, and yet I don't see the fate of Blacks in America in my lifetime to be a "success story".

"If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven't even pulled the knife out, much less healed the wound..."

-Malcolm X

Watching Black humans and Black-owned businesses being swept away by COVID-19 far faster than whites should be devastating to any person of conscience.

This is really not a good time to rah-rah about how America has become some earthly paradise for the negroes, thanks to "forward thinking whites".
