Think about this, LG - a 24 year old kid (female, black or both) has grown up with a:
Black President for 1/3 of those 24 years.
Female Secretary of State (highest appointed officer of the United States) for 1/2 of those years
An era where the number of black and/or female CEOs of major companies have skyrocketed. Strong black and female role models are more plentiful than they've ever been.
Despite being between 1/8th and 1/7th of the population, blacks dominate the rosters of 2 of the major revenue professional sports leagues, and definitely hold their own in a 3rd. Unlike the 1970s, "pre-Cosby", when blacks were still relegated largely to poverty/criminal/stereotypical roles on stage, screen and film, the past 35 years have been a Renaissance for blacks in the performing arts, particularly high profile stage, screen and television. After having been shafted in the "golden age", where their contributions were pivotal and largely unrewarded, black artists dominate swaths of popular music today. Blacks hold prominent positions in city, state and federal government, by the thousands.
I don't want to say there's "nothing" that can be improved (everything can be improved and frankly, drug laws, policing and corrections could all use an overhaul), but this "movement" gives credit to the notion that some folks will never be happy and are just anarchists by nature.
