    There is no denying the legacy of non-white racism and genocide against native Americans and its horrible impact continues today. Racism is a real problem that hasn’t gone away and should not be ignored.

    Maybe I’m being an idealist, but when I see use of language from OP making it seem like theres some coordinated white people scheme to only benefit white people, it seems like a straw man argument made to demonize one specific race. I feel like we’re all getting pretty damn well shafted these days and we can work together to improve the lives of people in marginalized and underserved communities.

      That comment seemed squarely about the legacy of a system designed to benefit white men, which it was.
