Whites Can "Never" know the Unique Struggle Blacks Face in America.. Jeremiah Wright was Right.

So I am scrolling through Youtube and come on one of Jeremiah Wrights Videos where he exclaims that Hillary Clinton doesn't know what it feels like to be a poor black man living in America. The comments from most of the posters who I presume are white are very telling. They immediately condemn the man. But Jeremiah Wright is right.

White people, especially white men, can never know what it feels like to face this country and indeed this world as a poor black person. As a poor black person we are at the bottom of society and always have been. Other races when they come to the United States pick up and adopt the racism of whites and they too start to become very prejudiced towards blacks. I have experienced this first hand myself.

Black people are at the mercy of many others in this life and that is one reason I firmly believe so many blacks become violent or give up partipating in corporate America. They say why even try. I really can't blame them. As a woman of color I too have seen and experienced lots of racism in this country. I know that if my word is ever called into question by whites it will automatically be assumed that I am a liar. Even though from working in Corporate America whites were some of the biggest liars.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright was right...
