Who is tired of hearing about how good we have it?

Do white people not get sick?
Are white people not poor?
Do our relatives not die?
Do white people not get chronic diseases?
Life sucks a lot of the time. That’s reality. It rarely has anything to do with race.
When you are constantly told all of your problems are because of someone else then the natural human condition starts to seem like “systemic racism”.
This is the best time to ever live in the best country that ever existed. The poorest person in this country is still top 1% of the world. It’s time for someone to tell these people to shut the frick up.

You want race war or coronavirus?
You can only pick one. Choose wisely.

This isn't true. African Americans were definitely set back, as a people, from hundreds of years of slavery. This is not debatable.
The African Americans that have overcome this are amazing and should be heroes to all of us.
That being said, the current social constructs to prop the African American community up are pretty significant now. Affirmative Action, DBE contracts, Minority Scholarships. This is serious shite that affects everyone, and should hardly be seen as light measures.

Is the system racist?
This is the only question that matters right now. If you want to go down the rabbit hole of historical grievances then where do we stop? And why do we stop at 300 years ago for just one race?
America has more upward and downward mobility than almost any country in the world. The system currently is weighted to minorities. Period. That’s backed by factual information.

Also, I said it RARELY has anything to do with race. You disagree. So tell me how it frequently has to do with race.

Read the rest of my post.
There is definitely personal racism from both races. ( This will only be exasperated by the shite that is going on now )
But governmental racism has definitely swayed the opposite way with policies based on the color of a person's skin.( This is not ideal in a world devoid of racism, but i understand the reasoning and hope it has the desired effect )

The random act of personal racism isn’t oppressing anyone either. It’s just an a-hole being an a-hole.
So this is irrelevant in the argument

This isn't true, but it should be. If people are offended, that should be their problem; their weakness; not the so-called offending party.
Being offended by words or flags is an emotional weakness we all suffer from but should strive to overcome.
Governments, on the other hand, should not oppress, or make laws and policies that are based on the color of someone's skin.

Trump told us we'd be tired from winning so much.
Guess the Democrats were really tired. Now the tired party wants Sleepy Joe.

The only laws and policies based on the color of someone’s skin are affirmative action

No, there are minority scholarships and DBE contracts to name a couple more.
