Did you grow up as a black american? People from different communities have radically different experiences, which is why we see denials such as yours

Did you?

FWIW I grew up very much "in the hood" in Brooklyn.

No, but I agree with them. I live in the hood and am white and live an easy life compared to those who are not. Get some perspective.

EDIT: and my whole family is from BK, what was once filled with immigrants is now filled with the rich and privileged in most parts. All I am saying is that if you wanna use anecdotes so can I. Brown people in this country are systemically treated like trash. I see it every day. I don’t fear my life but I sure would if I was a 16 year old black kid in my city (Philadelphia).
