It’s an excuse. They just want us to shut up and go away. If after the great deliverance we were still experiencing discrimination, they would say you people are always complaining everything is wonderful you just have to wait your turn for prosperity. History has taught us how quickly they turn a blind eye to our oppression. Affirmative action where white women benefited far more than black people and look who the majority voted for.
