You know whites live with the same fear. That one bad traffic stop.
Most people in this country are underpaid. It hasn’t kept pace with inflation in most sectors. We people of color can’t bitch about that anymore than whites can. They’re in the same boat.

Yes, but there was no correlation between your post and reality.

White man’s reality or a black mans reality? Have you lived your life as a black man? If you had you wouldn’t write such things.
Here’s some evidence for you.
A White man telling a black man what their reality is,
It’s like the fallacy of transgender swearing they know the experiences of the target gender that they want to be is. They have no idea of what it is. They can only imagine and fantasize. Just like non blacks have no idea of what the black experience is in America.
Those “we” are distinct from “I” … imputing injury or harm by proxy of belonging to a group is just how race ideology rolls these days.
But those assigned victimhood on account of skin will still be assigned victimhood no matter how successful they may become.
They can of course either accept or reject this attribution. Just as someone who personally rejects such an attribution with respect to themselves may still elect use it for some purpose.
It can matter if the saying of it, that they are a victim, is by themselves or by others though, because what folks say to themselves about themselves when they’re proverbially looking in the mirror — as opposed to merely using the rhetoric as a tool or a weapon — can do real harm, where they may be able to harmlessly brush off what someone else says about or attributes to them, even if it’s in their own hearing.

Reality has no color.
But like victimization, if you see everything through racist colored glasses, then you will always see racism.
There are people who didn’t see blantant racism as racism in the 60s.
Denying reality is very easy

Are you not telling white men what their reality is?

You are right. And likewise, there are many people … MOST people … who never experienced the racism of the 60s and before. Three generations have been born since Jim Crow. Get over it.

And black people in the 60s never experienced slavery. Slavery was several generations removed. So does that diminish their experience?
One cannot truly understand what they did not go through.
We can only read about it. And learn. But we cannot understand.

The US had a black president for 8 years. There is no glass ceiling for blacks in the US, apart from the one the Democrats have convinced you exists so you will be angry enough to vote for them. By ghettoising minorities in their jurisdictions they cause minority poverty, and then promise to fix the illusion of institutional racism that they conjured up, and prove by the poverty they have caused.
You are being played, friend.

Yes. It does. In fact they have no experience in that regard. No do you.

I don’t think I agree with that. “A” black President is an anomaly, not a roof razing.
Gotta love libs. Out of one side of your mouth you cry for the need of racial diversity as being one of the greatest goods, yet out of the other side of your mouth cry about the intractable pervasiveness of racism.
By wallowing in something they never even experienced they are just choosing to make themselves miserable and unhappy.

Let me rephrase…
So because black people in the 60s, never experienced slavery, that means they have no grounds to demand an end to segregation and oppression THEY experienced in the 60s?
Should they have just “got over it”?
I don’t “wallow” in slavery. Nor do I “wallow” in Jim Crow.
Pointing out that those two highly oppressive tactics have an impact on many black Americans today, is not “wallowing”.
Do confederate flag flyers, in 2021, “wallow” in the civil war? And if so, do you see that as a bad thing?
