He’s more than likely talking about the everyday bullshite minorities experience all the time from clerks assuming you’re too poor to buy at best and thinking you’re a shoplifter at worst, to the toothless old redneck hag who shouted at a lieutenant governor’s wife and called her the n-word even tho she is a Brazilian likely of European descent judging from her skin tone, to men and women whose applications are trashed bc their name is unusual (one that happens to white folks too if their name sounds ‘black’ or foreign to certain white folks eg then Senate hopeful Sherrod Brown who Limbaugh took for being black despite him being very white) to everything else including police assumptions and stereotypes that can prove harmful or even deadly to black men and women.
But minorities of all colors, orientations, and differences in general put up with a lot of shite they shouldn’t have to and some of it is life threatening.
That doesn’t mean black people can’t or shouldn’t be criticized. An idiot, a-hole, or criminal is the same regardless of melanin count. Take UGA’s WR Pickens who has proven time and again to be the most immature guy on the field or Myles Garret who could’ve killed a man when he hit him with a helmet. Or any number of others that are all due fair criticism.
