Has there ever been a nation in history with more opportunities for Black people than the USA?
We hear a lot about Critical Race Theory and how America is a systemically racist country. Everything is all about skin color and which group  oppressor or oppressed  you belong to. I hesitate to write this article, because to even broach the topic of race these days or to offer an honest critique runs the risk of being labeled a racist and being canceled. We see constant examples of real racism, largely against White people. The evidence is indisputable. Along with the racism comes a colossal double-standard, which should be enough to make your blood boil. In America today, anti-White racism is not only accepted, but even fashionable! Take, for example, recent statements made by Jalen Rose, a Black former professional basketball player, about current NBA player Kevin Love, who is White, being included on the Olympic basketball team. Rose said, "Kevin Love is on the team because of tokenism." Rose is upset that Love was the lone White player selected on an otherwise all Black team. I thought liberals were all about "Inclusion!" Yup. Now just imagine for a moment that some retired White NHL player came out with the exact same comment about a Black hockey player being included on the Olympic hockey team. It would be utter chaos. He would be branded a racist for life and almost certainly lose his job with whatever sports network he worked for. But that's only the tip of the racist iceberg! On a weekly basis, I see reports of attacks by young Black people against Whites and Asians, usually in Democrat-run utopias like New York City and Philadelphia. These attacks are intentional, targeted, and often accompanied by anti-White racist slurs. If you want to identify real racism to fight, you need look no farther than the current resident of the United States. Joe Biden's history of blatantly racist comments is long and undeniable. Google Joe's classics, like his "racial jungle" or "poor kids are just as smart as White kids" remarks. Then imagine the reaction if President Trump had made any of those comments. Biden gets a pass because he's a leftist. At least the old standard racist organizations  the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, the United Negro College Fund, BET, and Ebony Magazine How  could claim to be trying to help Black people in some way. (But just imagine if there were "White Entertainment TV" or "Ivory Magazine"!) So we're to the point where White people are fair game, and our kids are being taught that they are racists simply because they were born White. Even if they are not consciously aware of their alleged racism, they are still racist because they are White. Gotcha. Moving on, let's talk a little about how terrible it is in America today (and for the last several decades) to be Black. There are simply no opportunities for Black Americans; no jobs; no career paths; no ability to get an education. Nothing. I don't know how they get by! Oh, I guess you have to exclude the preferential treatment given to black applicants over Whites and Asians at nearly every major university in the country. Lowering the bar does not raise anyone up; it only brings us all down. Most decent people are all for equality of opportunity. They just don't buy into the equity of outcome nonsense. If a student or job applicant is qualified, most don't care what color he is. No one wins when the standards are ignored or lowered just to check off a box that says, "Yup, we've got some of those. We're woke!" Nowhere on Earth or in history does there exist a place or a time where Black people have had more opportunities than they do right here and right now. The true outrage should be toward those people and policies that espouse the belief that Black people can't succeed without the help of others, that they can't achieve at the same level, that they're not good enough without help from Whites. Black people being fed a constant diet of victimhood and "Us versus Them" is what holds them back. Image: Andy Witchger via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0.
