I don't have enough context to say anything about this, but I will acknowledge that you said it and I didn't know how to address it. Fired for being black? That's extremely illegal, not that the law stops people.

I'm white, I live in a part of my city that is 40% white, and it's way too obvious even to me that 40% is not hurting the way the 60% is.

Rail against liberals all you want, but liberals in good faith care about what's legal and not legal. Under the current administration, "extremely illegal" is worth a fart in the wind.

As I expected, which is why it was getting annoying watching white people go "oh no we're going to be marginalized" like yeah, join the club, it's not the end of the world, the rest of us are used to it, you'll figure out how to handle it too, but more likely white privilege will still keep you insulated from the worst of it.

1000% agree, and not to be a doomer but I think white people won't actually care until it starts getting worse for white people, and it won't get worse for white people until it's too late for everyone.
