Let me preface this by saying I'm a middle class white dude

I'm a middle-aged white guy, at best, on the low end of the middle class. What I call the working poor.

I don't think black oppression is as bad as some think, but I think there's definitely some there - to what actual degree, I don't know.

I don't think anyone, including blacks, truly believe it's as bad as it's portrayed currently. Of course it exists at some level. It always has and always will but it's gotten significantly better over the years and will continue to as long as we don't set the progress back with the bs going on now.

But whether you think black oppression is a real thing or not, thinking that it's a political issue shows just how ignorant and naive you are.

On its face it's not a political issue but with all the pandering and level of attack it's being used as now it's certainly became one. The entire Biden campaign is based upon it as a political issue. Not sure about the level of naivety but I can confirm the ignorance on their behalf.
