The ever-present soft bigotry of low expectations and the permanent claim that the solutions to the plight of my people rest exclusively on the goodwill of whites rather than on our own hard work is psychologically devastating. No other group in America is systematically demoralized in this way by its alleged allies. A whole generation of black children are being taught that only by begging and weeping and screaming will they get handouts from guilt-ridden whites.
This is the actual systemic racism that makes me sad and angry. So many blacks around the world view themselves as less than because they buy the lie that white liberals keep infantilizing them with.
Exactly! I would be embarrassed if all companies and the entire nation was groveling to say how sorry they are for keeping me in my place. What about my autonomy? What about my self motivation? What about my respect as a human, not as a skin color! I don’t need their pity or apology, I don’t need them lumping me in with a criminal, by doing so they are showing what they really mean: that they see me as beneath them, beneath whites, and still in need of their power and blessing. They are lost, racist, sick people.
Liberals see a black executive at a company and think "Wow! What an incredibly woke and progressive company for hiring a person of color in a position of power!"
Conservatives see a black executive at a company and think "Wow! What a hard working individual! They must have put in a lot of effort and overcome many challenges to earn that position!"

Larry Elder said whte condescension is worse that. White racism... 20 years ago.
