The true black community needs to lead the charge.

Another well researched essay, thank you Chris. This is why I subscribe. Everything you said in this essay is true; however, I don't see anything on the horizon that will change the current trend. I keep hoping, but I'm losing optimism by the day. I still believe the truth will set us all free. Unfortunately, I don't see much appetite for truth these days.

Excellent article. I get so frustrated when I’m treated as an inconvenience at a checkout counter but, you’re correct, I don’t bother to complain as I don’t think it will change anything.

Chris, this is a very well thought out, well written article for your Substack.

I hope for the day when other than being the first word in a written sentence, Black is (back to) black and white remains white, etc.. There will always be a useful descriptive distinction for one’s skin color; whether it is black, white, brown, etc. To my mind that is fine; and does not constitute racial prejudice.
