Great piece. We need every single black person in the US who is tired of black people being treated as infantile academic failures, to voice this sentiment. This is the narrative we need from "Black America." This strength, mental and physical, got black people out of slavery, past it, through reconstruction, up to the deprivations of 1950s white supremacy, and then in concord with white liberals, through the struggles of the 1960s.

Its ironic this pampered generation of super cool young black people, with all the privilege culture could ever bestow, and woke academics living off the race industry, are obsessed with petty complaints and ahistorical claims. (Its ironic they somehow support Palestine, if they can locate it that is, but thats another story). Its doubly ironic that the most materialistic and psychologically pampered black people that ever lived are the ones claiming they need help and can't get through school.

Its a pity you have to put the picture of your lovely family, but alas, how else is a white man to make a comment anymore without the obvious retort, "you don't understand."
