As I have written before, racism against black people in the US has not improved in two hundred years. What we see on tv, and around our walled off white parts of towns and neighborhoods speak nothing of the truth. The truths are easy.  12.5 Africans brought to the Americas. 10.5 million land alive. Only 388,000 come to the US. They all become indentured slaves making billions for their white masters in Europe and America. White Southerners fight for the right to enslave them, and lose the war. For punishment, Northern whites destroy white life with militarily backed Reconstruction. Hayes gets elected, Reconstruction ends, and blacks are turned over to torture, death, share cropping, teneant farming, and all efforts like Fusionism (white and black political parties) are lynched out of existence. From 1880-1920 125 million tribal peoples are murdered. The population of the Congo drops from 20 to 10 million in that 40 year period. President Wilson has a visit from Booker T. Washington, and never allows another black person to walk through the front door of the WH. Red-Lining makes billions for white absentee landlords, and Section 8 Housing make more billions for them. Court judgements become the thing that ALL black communities get in tons. THEN, the subprime mortgage scam makes trillions for Credit Default Swap Bond holders, and America wants to destroy the one football player who says, and says as gently as he can---THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WORNG HERE THAT YOU PEOPLE REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR CORRECT. Black people are still living in that hotel in the movie Detriot, and that's why the movie was made now.
