In reply to the discussion: As a black man living in America (A nice, long essay)... [View all]saidsimplesimon
(7,888 posts)51. Brilliant essay, you
have defined the problem and offered suggestions to move forward. I thank you for sharing this.
We will never try to be black & brown white people. Were ourselves. Identity politics is a form of repression against us anyway.
I will say that once white people get it INTO their heads to stop making America a living hell for non-white people and the poor of all stripes, they'll come to realization that a rising tide raises ALL boats and thus, everyone will benefit.
