Whatever. I saw you mention me out in the "taking things from white people" thread. I thought that was bullshyt but I let it go. But I was say this. Nowhere in the video that you posted did Speaker Johnson use the term "white privilege." He simply said his (foster) son who is black will have a harder time than his white son. As a black man who's lived over half a century in the Southern U.S. I agree. I've been pulled over or stopped walking down the street for no reason at all and was told by different cops that I just "looked" like some suspect they were looking for. Bullshyt! Unless you do like Speaker Johnson did and take in a black kid and raise him, you won't have any real idea of what black people go through. Here is a picture of speaker Johnson, his wife and their foster son. Damn you for making me like the guy now!
I will add, I don't think all white people are bad or all black people are good or that the South is necessarily worse than the North. Once my dad got pulled over and drawn on by a Secret Service agent who was down here from D.C. to investigate a counterfeiting ring. His only claim was my dad was driving a silver van and so was the alleged counterfeiter. At the time my dad, a disabled Vietnam era veteran, was around 80. I called one of the local while leaders in the community that knew my mom from when they were children. He called the local sheriff. Within a few weeks he reported back to me that the Secret Service agent had been fired. And that's great and all, but say if our family didn't have those connections? Just something to think about.
