115. no, actially it is not

Not even close.

For example, in 2011, 21.5% of black households had over $100,000 in net worth.

You think there was an equivalent class of fairly prosperous black people in the 1840s? In the 1740s? You think a slave from the 1790s transported to 1990 seeing a black poor person's life is gonna think "nothing has changed"?

And "whites murdering blacks" sounds like a bunch of media hype to me.

Must we do the crime statistics again? Most blacks are murdered - by other blacks. That's a far, far, far, far, far larger number than the "whites murdered by blacks" that some people seem to think is THE issue.

Seems to me if you sweep all white people into that white supremacist bin, then that is 'the simplest terms, the most convenient definitions'. Everything you need to know about me is told to you by my skin color.
