Nothing about the facts that I stated denies the reality of your life and experiences.
In the year 2020, there are black people born rich and just as privileged as anyone. Nothing I said denies this reality either.
I'm talking about systemic, as in, things affecting millions of people, with a wide spectrum of variance, issues. This is why statistics are useful. I'm not one to present a single state and claim that because of it, I'm right and you're wrong.
The point I was making was that it was easy to find these facts, which I did in a few seconds while writing that comment. If I wanted to spend several hours objectively researching(which I have btw) the outcome wouldn't be different because it's the truth.
I can understand where you're coming from because of your personal experiences, but you're denying the reality of other peoples experiences by claiming that they're not real and aren't happening.
Imagine if I said, "No you're white, which means you're privileged and had everything in life handed to you on a silver platter, THE END."
That would RIGHTFULLY be an incredibly ignorant thing to say seeing as how I don't know you, don't know what you've been through, and obviously can't speak about your experiences. That goes both ways.
The fact that we're all brothers and sisters obviously doesn't automatically mean we're all treated the same. If your brother tells you he's being mistreated, what would your response be?
- No you're not.
- You telling me you're being mistreated is the real problem.
- You just need to stop bringing it up, that's causing division.
- Since we're brothers, that means you couldn't possibly have it worse than me.
You wouldn't say any of these things because they don't make any sense. But this is the sort of mental gymnastics done by people.
