How can you miss a simple point so completely. I say you are ignoring the racist events the happened to Epic and are using your separate argument as a straw man deflection. You have now introduced a third irrelevant topic of my feelings that have never entered into my side of the conversation as...
And you go on and on ignoring the point of the op concerning the existing racism that Epic experiences. The only thing I can conclude is that you are using this smoke screen to maintain a comfortable status quo.
This reminds me of the Kaepernic fiasco. He was protesting racism in America and the...
Well lets bring em all over to pay for the right to improve their lot with slavery. Nonetheless it is still irrelevant to the racism of the op and the topic of racism in general. I say it is a lame attempt to deflect the fact of societal racism by muddying the waters and changing the topic.
You set up a situation of saying that person is better off here than his ancestors homeland. That is irrelevant to how that person is treated today. Call it whatever you want.

And all of that does what to foster better race relations...like we need anything like race relations. How about treating fellow human beings with dignity? Call it better human relations.
None of what you said does anything to erase racism from anyone's thinking. So, just like Epic taking on Kanye I'm not going to let a divisive statement stand when fellow Americans are hurt by stupid thinking.
Perhaps if we as Americans looked at the descendents of slaves as the offspring of people who suffered to drive the American economic system as the children of heroes of humanity then then the inhumanity could lessen.
Veterans have suffered to make our country strong and we honor that. How...
