I don't think White American's have thought about this simple fact.

When was there ever a good time for black folks in America?

I just want people to simmer on that. I think too many white folks have been taught that everything was fine in the 80's/90's.
And that someone things have gone "bad" in modern times. Which is just not true.

The early 1920's was about the "best" black folks had, and the most wealth. But then ya know.

Black wealth was literally bombed into dust.

There's a mindset that black folks don't have wealth because of our own issues and failings.

Except history shows that everytime we do good, white America goes out its way to set us back.

Ever heard the term redlining? If not, you should.

I bring it up because too many think that this stuff is in the past, but it's really not.

Remnants of these policies remain, and the scars are still felt. There's no "better" to go back to. There's only forward, and the future HAS to be better.
