Yep. Because the world is so much better for those with melanin since The Great Society! How education has become admired, and achievement! Civility and manners, and the respect for diverse opinions. W.E.B Du Bois would be proud, today, watching Youtube videos of someone melting down because they can't get a free cup from 7-11.

"Her essay lists 50 statements, as might be spoken by a white person, that demonstrate the structural advantages of being white and suggest the structural disadvantages of being black. One example: “I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.”
As I surveyed the items in this invisible knapsack, a thought occurred to me. Were I to swap the words “political identity” or “political ideology” for “race” and “color,” much of the list could easily apply to conservatives.”
