The scariest thing in America today is...

"A Black Man with Knowledge"

Apparently a HS valedictorian used this phrase in his speech recently and it got me thinking.

Is this really the scariest thing in America? Is he confusing knowledge with wisdom? I guess the way I see it is a black man with actual wisdom doesn't consider himself a victim. He is not bogged down by grievances. He's no different than literally anyone else. His identity is not tied to his race, but rather, it's tied to his character and productivity. This is not scary at all. This is what we wish for every citizen.

I mean, someone like Gravy Chambers has a ton of knowledge. Much of it is inaccurate, selective, intentionally incomplete, or simply his own truth. But that doesn't make him wise. He is indeed scary, but not for the reasons he thinks he is.
