You seem to have a very low opinion on the ability of blacks to overcome their circumstances. We just had a black president for 8 years not too long ago. Did racism limit him to become one of the most powerful people in the world?
He succeeded despite racism, much like many successful Black people in the past. Did the accomplishments of Frederick Douglass negate the fact that slavery and Jim Crow were the institutions in his lifetime? Your argument is ridiculous at face value; Obama won because of people of color, most white people did not support either of his presidential runs.
Who said anything about not believing blacks? You had to stoop pretty low to equate it to rape.
You said his statements were false, you denied his experience.
Why are black children raised in single parent homes more than any other race? Why do blacks kill other blacks at a higher rate than any other race? The questions can go on and on.... Some racism exists, that's true. But the bigger issue, imo, is black culture. Rap/hip hop music went from being cool in the 70s through the early 90s. Then "gangsta" rap became popular and along with it the glorification of cop killing, murder, drugs, and referring to women as (sounds like) ditches and hoes. Statistics point to 2 parent homes and indicators of economic and emotional stability, yet the black family structure has been in decline for a number of years with increases in teen pregnancies and single parent (mostly mothers) families.
You place too much stock in the influence of entertainers. Donald Trump held the same misguided view, where he somehow thought getting endorsement from rappers would lead to electoral success. Gangsta rap has not been around since the 90s, stop beating that old dead horse.
Blacks kill blacks more than any other race. Is that the fault of racism? I think not! If Black Lives Matter, then why don't they matter to their own kind? It's convenient to blame "whitey" for the place in life, but much of it is self-inflicted.
What's racist is singling out "black-on-black" crime as if it is different or special from other intraracial crime. If you look at homicide cases, most involve people of the same racial group. There is also the whole presentation as talking about them as "their own kind," it's simply a needless racialization. Do you speak this way of white people killing "their own kind", or does this argument only apply to Black people? I think the racism of the idea is evident here.
And who said anything about "whitey"? Only you did. People pointing out racial discrimination and demonstrating this fact with economic data, studies that show racial bias, and other evidence are not blaming anyone, they are simply showing how racial discrimination is still a problem in our society, despite progress. Nonetheless, Black Lives Matter is related to police violence and accountability, it's not about citizens killing each other.
You are a bad guesser. But that's how you roll it seems. Keep living in the past and you will never achieve Dr. King's dream. I don't like or dislike a person based on their color or where they're from. I like or dislike them based on how they act toward me and others.
I think his guess is quite accurate, you spent the better half of your post attacking "Black culture" as if it is inferior. Talking about "culture" has been the argument made by those who have opposed dismantling racist institutions since the 1870s. The exact same arguments pointing the finger at Black families, culture, crime, etc., has never changed. The only thing that has been dropped is the biological racism argument, but everything you mentioned is no different than the anti-Reconstructionists in the 1870s to the John Birch Society-types opposing desegregation in the 1950s/1960s.
I had a black roommate in college. We were both athletes in the same sport and became good friends, until we were roommates. He stole stuff from me. When I confronted him, he had no remorse, just a blank stare. I moved out and moved on from him. Years later, he showed up on the local news being arrested for impersonating a police officer by putting a flashing light on the roof of his car (like Starsky & Hutch TV show from the 70s) and pulling over attractive women so he could get their phone numbers. Racism has nothing to do with him being an idiot that I dislike. I've met and interacted with numerous blacks over the years that were super cool and nice. Just like I've met and interacted with good and bad whites, Hispanics, Asians, non-Americans, etc. You don't know me, so please quit trying to "guess" what my thoughts and opinions are with regards to racial matters.
And your anecdotal story has nothing to do with the uncovering of racism that remains in American society to this day. We see it in employment discrimination, housing discrimination, police bias, education discrimination, etc. Your story does not negate the studies and government reports that show the continued effect of racism in the USA.
It shows either you don't know what is going on or you don't care
