@Mik said in "I have never noticed race more":
At this point one’s equality and success depends on them. Now you may run into some people in power who don’t particularly care for black folks, but I can tell you I have run into a any number of folks in power who did not care for me for whatever reason. It really doesn’t matter what the reason is. You either find a way to overcome it, move on or live with it. It does not have to make you a loser.
Liberation at this point is all individual. You can decide to be a victim or a victor. It’s up to you. The blockers that can be addressed legislatively have been.
And it's essentially impossible to disentangle the reasons a person in power seems not to favor you. Then we teach kids who look a certain way, that people will often hate them because of how they look. We also teach them that they have ultimate, unquestionable authority to know that hatred when they see it. Voila, permanent racism, which nobody who doesn't look a certain way, could ever possibly understand.
