I think systemic racism is a real issue, but doesn’t it seem like blacks in the US seem pretty comfortable?

Whenever I go anywhere I see black people going about their business like everyone else, not the least bit bothered or encumbered by any perception of discrimination and carrying themselves confidently and not the least bit timid or effected in any way by the current climate and recent events despite being amid some of the highest racial tensions we’ve seen in decades. Anyone noticed this?

They actually have it a lot better than black people in many other countries. A lot of them are too stupid, spoiled, and ignorant to know that there are places in the world where it's legal still to discriminate against blacks and get away with it. They also apparently aren't aware, that there are few black people in East Asia for a reason: the people there think black people are devils and subhuman. They also don't seem to be aware that, even if they were all shipped back to Africa, the Africans don't want them either. The people over there actually pay attention in school, go to college, work hard, and earn an honest living; something far too many black people in the US have taken for granted with our broken welfare system. The last thing native Africans want are a bunch of loud, spoiled, lazy idiots that glorify thug culture causing trouble in their towns and villages.

Correct. I work with a lot of African immigrants, and they do not embrace Black America one bit.

How are black people oppressed? Many of them have committed actual terrorism crimes on US soil with their names/IDs KNOWN to authorities and will not face charges. That is not oppression.

THAT IS NOT OPPRESSION.

I thought you were Polish? Black and Polish, odd mix.

Institutionalized racism in the US is largely a myth fabricated by the left so they can convince the black vote that they are victims which will manipulate them into voting for them. It's very disturbing.

It’s more about classicism. If you’re middle class and black then you only have to deal with the occasional racism or structural barriers to your economic well-being.

However, if you’re poor and black then you’re basically fucked. You have access to bad healthcare, little education, resources, or job security. You’re stuck in a system of segregation that’s been in place since the early 20th century.

In reality, black or white, you are a labourer for the bourgeoise and ruling status quo (or billionaires).
