Oh yea because Slavery and all of the trinkle down effects are COMPLETELY wiped away. You are essentially using the, "It is over, move on" logic to tell people to "stop crying."

If we’re using analogies here it’s like having someone stab you over and over, and then the finally “realize” stabbing you was wrong so they stop. But they won’t pay for your medical care for the stab wounds because they’re no longer stabbing you and it’s in the past so it’s not their problem.

Not only the trickle down effects but current socioeconomic systems currently disadvantage African Americans too.
The criminal justice system is still unfair to balck people today, black people are still discriminated in lending today, black voters are still targeted for suppression today, I could name dozens more stuff that goes on today.
Things are definitely not all in the past.

No I’m not saying any single thing is to blame for poverty. There are multiple factors that contribute to it. The advantage that I think white people have is that they have had people in the race long enough to learn the ins and outs so they are able to pass the knowledge down. Black people don’t have that advantage.
It’s not the governments job to take care of anyone. Stop waiting for it to happen. The government is just here to make sure we stay civil. If someone is racist, coo just avoid them.
If black people have it so bad then why am I seeing so many black people and other people of color on TV? Not on their own networks like the Hispanics have created, they are on the “Masa’s” network stations and movies. The same people who are working hard and making it are telling other they can’t.

“ better to argue than be in a group of yes men”
When it comes to equality, fairness, etc..... ahhh yes, you SHOULD be surrounded by yes men. Who the **** goes against that for the sake of argument??
As for “the past”, nothing needs to be argued there. If that’s what you’ve got to say you’re dumb as all hell

Even our current president prevented minorities from having equal access to education through discriminatory housing practices and scammed other minorities through Trump U.

It’s the governments job to have a steady hand where ever it’s hands go. And it’s the governments job to right past transgressions.
This isn’t just about grinding, and choosing to do this or making this choice. It’s about access, resources, employment, government, and socioeconomic.
“If black People have it so bad...”
Explain these to me without using a sweeping generalization. You knock the New York Times article but they’ve got data, numbers, and facts while you’re hitting us with anecdote after anecdote.
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/19/upshot/race-class-white-and-black-men.html
At the end of the day you can adjust for every single thing in the world, family, education, wealth, and when everything is the exact same black people still have to work hard to reach the same accolades and they’ll get paid less for doing it. And if the most privileged of black folk feel it, you expect to the least of these to rise up with no issues? If you don’t think that’s a problem worth fixing then I’m glad you’re in the minority.

Some black folks and other people of color would probably **** their pants if they realized what their white counterparts make. Dudes think it's all sweet because they have a little change in their pocket not realizing the system in place still restricts their growth. And these are facts not feelings. Your "grind" is not as fruitful as it should be.

The very first thing I read in all of those graphs you posted is that the gap is large between men but not women. But if race is the issue here, then what point are you really showing me? Racism only applies to black men? That’s pretty silly.
Income is often a personal negotiation between an individual and an employer. So how does this not come down to personal choices?
This study was also done with a couple thousand people. Dude.... Seriously?
OK I agree 10000% that bad things have happened and do continue to happen to black people. I believe that racism still exists, but only on an individual level. If you really believe what you believe then you should be able to handle a challenge to your stance. Listen to the opposite side. Research the opposite side. People are people. Most people don’t like inequality regardless of race or gender. The people in her pulling these race cards encounter white people everyday, but I bet you wouldn’t be able to put most of the white people you know into the racist box.

Yeah nevermind the attitudes, I literally saw the numbers because my girl was an accountant at a large corporation and the black ones were thinking of a suit. It's surreal to really see, same job, or their senior getting paid significantly less, and there was a ceiling on promotion.
