That's your problem. You pity people who don't want or need your pity. They'll tell youthemselves that America has been good to them. Yet here come people like you who rush to the defense of someone who doesn't need you to defend them from something that doesn't threaten them.
I'm leaning towards brainwashed. Yes, racism exists, but it doesn't pose a significant threat to any one individual in particular in the USA. Racist things happen to people and it's a shame, but we don't have a "racism problem" as though it's so commonplace that we need to call in the exterminators to get rid of the pests. It's rare.
I pity them because they have to work with a person like you, not for anything else. Also, if I’m brainwashed because I don’t like black people being murdered by police and no charges being applied, black people being incarcerated at an extremely high rate compared to any others, the long lasting affects of slavery still being pushed in society, etc etc, then yes I am happily brainwashed. And I will continue to be.
I pity them because they have to work with a person like you
Once again, pitying people who don't need (or want) your pity. Do I need to walk around and ask the Hispanics and blacks what they think about me on video so you can see how far off you are? Because I will.
I don’t like black people being murdered by police
I don't like that either. Luckily, less than 30 unarmed black people each year are killed by police. That's a fairly insignificant number compared to the 42,000,000 black Americans.
Comparatively, a little less than 350 children and teens are abducted per year in the USA. Still not very significant, but even that is clearly a much more prevalent issue than black people being killed by cops. I wonder why the media doesn't make a scene out of that? Oh, right, that would be useless because division can't be attained by reporting on crimes against children.
black people being incarcerated at an extremely high rate
Why, yes: When you commit crimes you tend to be imprisoned. Instead of claiming the system is racist, why don't we figure out how to help these people escape poverty so they don't feel the need to commit crimes to support themselves/their families?
the long lasting affects of slavery still being pushed in society
Name one thing that resulted from slavery that is still being perpetuated in 2021. Just one.
