reflections/observations really just cement the fact that white people got to be on top of the human race chain and nothing, nothing is going to change that except time. And that measurement of white supremacy longevity in the USA is running out.

why would this still be? This is one of the reasons, I think, we AA are always so goddamn angry all the time. WHITE RACISM is a hell of a burden to carry around on ones' shoulders 24/7/365.

The white supremacists know this and are powerless to stop it, thus this last gasp, grab at power through the trump admin.

It won't work as they are a tiny minority within the shrinking majority now. In 2034 they'll be even more ineffectual.

Times are changing and you can't stop time.

Hats off to Hope Solo the soccer player for her outspoken words in the article at the link on discrimination in women's soccer.

I know I won't see the end of white racism. Given the longevity of white racism, my great, great, great grandchildren will maybe see the end, if we don't destroy each other and the end of racism is all I have left as a hope in America.
