It sickens me to witness the media's complicity in what can only be described as an all-out assault on black and brown people

I think it sickens all of us.

@Horace finally watched the last quarter of that video, and wow what a mic drop at the end with the triggering "black privilege" line, LOL.

I must say... we all know that racism exists, against all races, and everywhere. Sure. The problem is there is this deeply embedded mindset among many persons of color, it seems, that any negative experience is somehow related to how much melanin their skin has.

Oh a cop asked for my photo ID? Must be because I'm black. Whereas when I experience negative situations, I think... that person is a jerk, or there is a misunderstanding, or they're having a bad day, or it's because I was doing ABC... whereas if I had a higher amount of melanin in my skin, it seems the culture has taught them to think that is the default reason, instead of the 10 other reasons for the scenario.

Oh and @Rainman - you're a good dude. Horace's sarcasm is dry and witty and I love it, and heck, I have caught myself copying it. Just know that @Horace likes the AAPL stock, and also the sarcasm.
