It's hard to believe that the most powerful black lesbian in Chicago could consider herself a victim.

But there was a time where the most powerful man in the world considered himself a victim of the same racism.

Who can forget the Covid riots in Chicago the weekend after George Floyd died of covid?

“A few months ago they said they didn’t know who I was. Well, if you didn’t know, now you know,” Johnson said. He thanked the unions that supported him and gave a special shout-out to his wife, telling the crowd, “Chicago, a Black woman will still be in charge.”

I wonder how many generations America will have to survive before this skin color fetish seems like a bizarre anachronism.

Realistically the subcultures would have to completely merge/disappear. At least I believe that's what it would take.

And, I wonder how many generations America will have to survive before. . . everyone's skin color will be the same.

I remember as a kid hearing how the slow intermix of races would eventually lead to one brownish race, with watered-down features. And, we'd run out of oil by 2020. Or maybe it was that oil would end up being the same color by 2020 regardless of which race.
