#12We haven't even elected a president who was born after racial discrimination was no longer codified into law. And he's claiming that racism is ancient history?
No. He’s arguing the us does not have SYSTEMATIC racism. That the way to move forward is to go after the opportunity at hand. Instead we have a generation of folks who claim the system is against them and fail to move forward. Who give up.

#14The article states, >Do you ever notice that White leftists lead promoting the Big Lie — the New York Times 1619 Project, Hollywood, academia, the mainstream media? Do you ever notice that they do not give up their own jobs so that Blacks can have them? This is a non-sequitur.

To his credit, I have heard similar from some activists. There's a miniscule fraction of the people who otherwise align with those activists who actually subscribe to that reasoning, so it's effectively a strawman.
>> Don’t rely on the government for equal results because the government only will botch most things it touches. Rather, rely on yourself for self-help and your immediate network of family and friends, and the people at your church, cathedral, synagogue or temple, and private sources for a boost when needed...
> Is this the best the author could come up with?
Yeah... "don't ask for handouts"... unless you need a handout. And then, you're deserving of a handout if your friends or family have excess resources, or if you participate in a sufficiently wealthy religion. Shame if you were kicked out of your town, family, and church for being gay or transgender.

#15Always interesting when a 'Rabbi' that supports an apartheid state feels like he has the standing to lecture POC about how they should perceive their lived experiences... No thanks.

No. He is arguing that we have achieved racial harmony. Read it again:
> Two generations of Americans never had seen a segregated bathroom or bus or lunch counter. This country had achieved racial harmony. It was not that long ago that racial harmony existed.
