Excellent article. It is fair to ask white supremacists this: Black people have been here since at least 1619. They survived slavery. They survived Jim Crow. They have just as many individual success stories based on merit, and working with greater obstacles than white people will ever have- so really, what RIGHT do any of us wo are white have to act as if Black America still hasn't "paid its dues". Not only has Black America paid it's dues- it has paid most of OURS.
