But then you knew that when you posted it right?
And that means we have to not only question the world as it is, and stand up for those African Americans who havent been so lucky -- because, yes, you've worked hard, but you've also been lucky. That's a pet peeve of mine: People who have been successful and dont realize they've been lucky. That God may have blessed them; it wasnt nothing you did. So dont have an attitude. But we must expand our moral imaginations to understand and empathize with all people who are struggling, not just black folks who are struggling -- the refugee, the immigrant, the rural poor, the transgender person, and yes, the middle-aged white guy who you may think has all the advantages, but over the last several decades has seen his world upended by economic and cultural and technological change, and feels powerless to stop it. You got to get in his head, too.
Lord knows we should buy into what Breitbart says.

I'll believe this crap if it turns up in a reputable source, which this is not. Please either self-delete or find a better source.
