I'm really not trying to get on your case, but when you say this, where were you getting your information from? Were you asking black people about how racism was working out for them? Were you tracking economic and employment disparities? Or were you viewing this improvement in terms of the fact that you saw more black faces on TV and you didn't hear them complaining as much?

Yes, absolutely. Black people can be racist too. I've never subscribed to this idea that only white peope can be racist. But the impact of racism is so hugely more significant for black people on a societal level. You can see that, right? I'm not talking about name-calling, I'm talking about prejudice. I'm talking about the fact that only 60 years ago, black people couldn't access the same facilities as you. They couldn't buy houses with the same ease. They couldn't get the same jobs you could. On and on. This was legally enforced until 60 years ago. Of course the impact of that still lingers today.

Even this whole "diversity quota" thing is a symptom of the same lack of understanding of reality. Affirmative action benefitted white women more than any other demographic (https://www.vox.com/2016/5/25/11682950/fisher-supreme-court-white-women-affirmative-action). But people see a black person in a high level position and some whisper that they only got there because of diversity quotas.

This whole issue falls victim to such lazy, self-centred thinking on so many levels. And it's just a little exhausting to have people who claim to have always been fighting racism, who see the problem with the recent attacks on "whiteness" clearly and yet clearly missed the decades of attacks on "blackness" that came after slavery and even segregation. This isn't ancient history I'm talking about.
