I'm really asking though. You keep on with these extremes, never have I said racism doesnt exist. Or cases of racism do not happen.

Nothing. You got it.

I forreal want to know though. Is there any justification for it? Think of a Venn diagram. You’ve got George Floyd on the far left and some Korean guys restaurant on the right. They’ve got absolutely nothing to do with each other.All of sudden this Korean guys restaurant is being damaged, his children are in fear of the city, and the owner is now unsure of when he can reopen due to damages/ fear of safety.
If you can’t empathize with that then we got different value systems man. But I legit wanna hear some explanation because no ones giving an answer why it’s ok to damage this Korean guys restaurant and put his children and family in fear for something they have nothing to do with.

I love Malcolm, the autobiography was life changing. I would argue there was been progression since he shared these views. I did specify in 2020.

Sad but all facts. I've gone on many rants about why we need to abolish the Constitution, and the 3/5ths point is one of them. At the time it was written, there were people who legitimately looked at black people as... not people. I could go into the etiology of that thinking, but the more important thing is the reality of what X said: that Constitution was written to protect white people at the detriment of black people.
That's just what it is was and is.
Any progress that anyone says the country has made by way of abolishing segregation, by way of 'allowing' black people to vote, any talk of progress by way of equal rights, they're not seeing that we just recently had a black jogger killed by 2 people with thinking that stems from that 3/5ths thinking, a cop who killed a black man by treating him in a way that 3/5ths thinking would allow.
That's not progress.
tl;dr: I agree with everything X said, every word.

So speaking on only what he was speaking about, you think there has been progress? Tangible progress?
Explain
