IAWTP.

What caught me is not so much the hopes (but I do hope all she hopes for comes true) but the views on the current stratifications of the USA on money, gender, and race lines, and how accepted that has become.

LOL, the tagline: Why are black people so angry all the time? Probably some dumb shit you did ...

I didn't dig her post at all.
I mean, it's her opinion and of course she's entitled to it.
But really, some of the stuff she was going on about seemed more like her personal experience conflated to generalizations about an entire group.
And her third point, about black and brown people having more hope in themselves as individuals?
What the fuck?
She seems to have fallen into the all too typical trap of not seeing some of the problems in black/brown community as class/income issues and not ethnic issues.
I mean, her heart's in the right place. I guess that should be enough.
But for me, it isn't.
It's all just fuzzy thinking.
