That doesn't mean those people are bad or racist, they have just lived different lives from that of people of color. I become frustrated when I listen to pundits saying some white people don't want to hear the POTUS saying black people are treated poorly or at a disadvantage, just because those white people are also struggling. Yes, people all over and of every color are struggling. We need everyone to recognize that fact and that if a black person and a white person are in the same situation, many times the black person will be worse off because of the pervasive racism throughout our society. Unfortunately, getting many to recognize that fact may be as difficult as getting those same people to recognize climate change. Regardless of the deniers, we need to all be engaged in an active conversation. If we don't talk about it and thus admit that it's real (or at least discuss the possibility), change will never come.
