Did you add to that sum, or are you content to just sit back and make noise about it?

If there are disparities, they are likely explained by institutional, but hidden, racism.
Or, to get recognition, blacks have to perform better in work and society than their white counterpart.

And then - the number of blacks committing murder is roughly the same as the number of whites committing murder. Very few blacks are killed by whites, very few whites by blacks. Those numbers do not reflect racism.Last edited by tabibito; 11-28-2021, 10:20 AM.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
