Black unemployment rates are double that of Whites cause even if we’re more qualified, a White person with a record could get hired before us. Even our names could keep us from employment. We can’t even get hired with a degree against a White person who doesn’t have one. And even if we have a job, we’re more likely than a White person to get laid off. Thus, the wealth gap has gotten bigger and bigger. And that leaves you with Black families seven times as likely to be homeless.  We have an education achievement gap because Black public schools are so shitty and underfunded. Our kids get put in special ed courses and disciplined/suspended from school at disproportionate rates… which I suppose is to prepare them for the police. We get constantly harassed by the police which has led to us being more likely to be incarcerated… Hell, even though we’re 12% of the U.S. population, we make up the majority of the prison population.  And don’t even let me get into the access to quality health care and statistics on black health. Many of us can’t even get a damn grocery store in our neighborhoods. And the ones that do have grocery stores are less likely to have fresh produce. And on top of it all, we have to listen to White people fucking complain all the damn time about nothing because most of you have NO idea what it’s like to have a fucking real problem that cannot be solved simply because of the skin color you were born with.  Like, what the fuck more could you possibly want White people?????? What the hell else do you need to satisfy your Whiteness?
