These are good questions, but I think it takes the discussion in the wrong direction, by focusing on differences rather than common interest. Systemic racism hurts everyone by creating what W.E.B.

Like Du Bois, I bang my head trying to figure out why people go against their own self-interest to perpetuate these systemic problems. Maybe everyone just needs to watch the banned movie "Salt of the Earth."
