Yeah, if black people changed their behavior, racist cops would magically stop pulling them over for no reason, racist landlords would magically stop refusing to rent to them when they hear their accents on the phone, racist employers would magically stop tossing resumes into the trash can when they see names like Washington, Jefferson, etc.

There is so much wrong with this post...

Cops don't pull black people over for no reason. Typically it is reckless driving, speeding, or a light out.

It's literally illegal in every State to discriminate renting based on race.

The "name on resume" claim has also been debunked.

Every major problem in the black community today comes down to problems with the culture in that community.

What do you think will be the results after decades of black people attacking other black people for "trying to be white" because they read, or work hard in school?

I know you’re being sarcastic, but if hood culture wasn’t the default attitude of most black people you would see a lot less of the “racist” attitudes in the USA.

I wish more people were willing to have this conversation, but there is a big difference between racism and being prejudiced against one’s culture. When people follow a culture that glorifies violence, misogyny and being “hard”, don’t expect others to want to hire or be around them.
