So they were oppressed 50 something years ago. Black people are not currently oppressed. The only seperate spaces are now at mizzou at the request of blacks.

They have every single opportunity as anyone else. They even have lower admission standards for schools and jobs. The only way anyone is oppressed anymore is by being lazy.

Still kap and Reid talking oppression is like a white sjw from jewlane lecturing on it. They didn't come from the streets.

I'll be the first to say that they obviously have it much better. But I think you're fighting a losing battle if you think they'll just forget. There needs to be political reform from the war on drugs as well. I mentioned this in my last post.

I think it's fricked up to say you can't protest if you're not in the shoes of the people your protesting for too. Sometimes the ones not from the streets are the only ones with the platform to do anything. Just because you've been blessed doesn't mean you shoud have to play dumb.

Opportunity is not equal in this country. Never has been and never will be. We're getting further away from a lot of that being based on race, and moving more towards it being based on wealth. To claim everyone born in this country has the same opportunity is pie in the sky talk.


And I'm not saying it should be. It would be nice if it was, but it's impossible to attain. Someone born into wealth has an infinite amount more opportunity than someone born into poverty.
