It hasn’t though sure it was still prevalent but it was not the normal and people knew that which is why we had so many progression with MLK and BLM and Malcom X and Rosa parks like back then it was something to fight for and white people not all but some fought with us on that plus there was DEI and other programs that helped

Now racism is very different there are no new activists! There are no more laws or rules in place to help us succeed! There are no more good people to fight for our causes

I agree that there’s a very bleak shortage of charismatic and revolutionary black activists and it’s very damaging

Let’s please use context clues I never once said it didn’t exist I’m saying in this generation this day and age this year 2025 there is nothing that helps us in any of these situations like there was back then
