It's the tip of an iceberg.
We need to solve the issue, it’s not going away and trying to paint it as an attack on the rest of society only shows that you believe, against evidential reality, that all people are treated equally now.

Again, I have never heard anyone, certainly no one who matters, suggest that blacks haven't suffered uniquely. No one disagrees with you.
I still don't understand (no sane person understands), why when someone says "all lives matter", what you hear is "blacks have never suffered". In a common tactic, liberals here are responding to something which no one is saying.
Here's a question. If liberals want to help blacks thrive, why do they oppose school choice, when poor blacks desperately want school choice?
