No one thinks that's true, but it is. If they're doing well. They're hated by the others. If they're doing bad they just do bad things.

Hes not wrong. No young white kid born after 2000 should EVER feel guilty about anything that happens to a black kid after 2000 in terms of racial grievances. If anything, the young black kid just has to be average and he/she will be accelerated as far ahead as they possibly can be.


The more racial grievance politics are played in 2026, the more people are likely to ignore and tune it out.

They have tried to cancel him so many times

He is among the top linguists in the world

He had an amazing book that came out right after the "summer of love"

Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America

He is as based a Black Democrat as has existed in history

Black folks aren’t tuning it out. They are more convinced than ever that they are victimized by racism. It will take generations for those thought processes to go away.

I've heard a few of his interviews and podcasts. If there is such a thing as a rational person being a Democrat, he is it.

Most kids 18 and younger have never heard a racial slur uttered by their parents. They have absolutely no belief that anyone is actually discriminated against anymore.

They don’t have any illusions they owe anyone anything and they see the world for what it is.

Obama played the card too hard on his way out of the spotlight. Everyone got burned out.

I'll believe this guy if 2028 comes and goes without a complete 180° course change.

The victim mindset and expectation for the government to fix your life leads to misery. Drive through an Indian reservation. Same squalor

You have fallen for the liberal DEI position by implying that whites born before 2000 should feel guilty.

I was born in 1962 and I don’t feel the least bit of guilt about treatment of black people. I never voted for them to be oppressed, nor did I oppress them.

Does not matter.

Victimhood playbook is an easy one

White person says this = evil white racist

Black person says this = treasonous Uncle Tom
