Had a good talk, with one of my non-black friends the other night - about why black people seemingly, aren't all that interested in everybody else's civil rights ::: and, I had to break it down.
The 'narrative' of American society is, that all struggles are equal; Black people are just 'crying' - Every race has gone through something unfair; everyone else has "gotten over it" ---> and none of that narrative is true.
Truth is, other groups who have been wronged, have been Repaid - wrongs have been righted; They've been assisted in getting back going again ::: while black people, CONTINUE to be wronged ...
This is what people fail to understand; EVEN a lot of black people get caught up in the lies; and start down talking OTHER black people --> because when we live in a white society; white narratives dominate the entire nation;
Housing Discrimination like the story I'm about to share, happens MORE OFTEN than many of you know; THIS is not happening to Gays; it's not happening to Hispanics; It' snot happening to Asians; It's not happening to Native Americans .... this only happens to Black People ...
So it's not that black people 'do not care' about other people's issues; the reality is, black people's issues are still front and center; we are more concerned about ending the struggles we are facing; and we are tired, and frustrated, with other groups claiming they are going through what we are going through; we are tired of people pointing out exceptions to the rule, and saying look at Lebron James, he's almost a Billionaire why can't the rest of you just be 6'9 285 lbs of all muscle and get drafted into the NBA??
We're tired of being told that since a small handful of controlled black people are doing well financially as a reward for NOT addressing the systemic racism the REST of black society is still dealing with, means the rest of us should shut our mouths and work harder ::: when that's entire b.s. --- We are getting racism thrown at us, at every single level, almost every day of our lives; FROM every group who claims "They too" are experiencing discrimination --- > when it's all a lie; None of this is happening to any of these other groups.
This is only happening to black people.

on decentralized platforms, there are a ton of racist white people who won't agree. Save your comments, as nothing y'all have to say matters - none of you are interested in solving these problems, because if you were, they'd be solved by now.
Mostly sharing this here, so it remains on the blockchain, as evidence of what continues happening to black people in America. NO other group is experiencing this - the story shared is just one of many.
