1. I respectfully disagree. Statistically barriers still exist, especially in employment. Search up many good, current statistics of unemployment

If white privilege exists, why don’t you ever see mixed people calling themselves white? They ALWAYS claim black

Currently the system is against all of us. The system wants us to all automatically hate each other.

There’s really no excuse anymore… my parents dealt with racism 70s/80s but still built business, house, vehicles and retirement funds. My mom

Probably out of line for this but there is definitely systemic issue here, specifically the school system

What about generational wealth? I would argue these qualities that you’re describing come from classist standpoints, not racial.

I think the same is true regardless of one’s race or ethnicity. Are their roadblocks? Yes. But it’s about how you navigate

Just because someone posts on tik tok and gets likes doesn’t make them an expert, just watch the news if you think he’s right about everything ☠️

Just because you may not have experienced these barriers personally, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. Wake up!
