I can't count the times I've heard of prosperous, middle class people of color getting stopped on the road, or while jogging. Getting followed around stores because the clerk thinks they might steal. Getting lesser terms on loans and/or having tighter credit because they are perceived as 'higher risk.'
Markle might be rich. I don't know. I don't usually pay much attention to the British royals. But I know that everywhere there is a white majority and we have a so-called 'free market' that allows the few to get rich at the expense of the many, we have racism.
But no matter what, Randy, because Markle is black, there will be people who hate her. Just because of that.
And that's what I'm talking about. We saw it day and day out with the Obamas. I can't even imagine how tired they got of it.
