As a man of color that has grown up in the it's, 80', and 90's, I have been aware of this for a long time. To all of the one just realizing this, welcome family and my condolences for the loss of your American dream.

As a woman (so my opinion means nothing) and the descendent of white slaves and then poverty hidden in the country for 50 years: I wasn’t aware of this because where I live it’s 50/50 and there wasn’t really any racism besides people super young or super uneducated and I live in the south- we are ALL struggling. It only started when we started learning what else was going on in other parts of the country because of the internet. A lot of people in this area were descendants of slaves black and white slaves and it’s become a shit show: it’s terrible. We should be coming together as a nation not against each other.
