That they have a "victim mentality." That they "lack family structure." And so on and so forth, but mainly just a bunch of finger pointing and name calling.
And then you have instances where an unarmed black teens are shot by a police officers, or someone who thinks they are like a police officer, and somehow the narrative gets twisted around so that the unarmed black teen is always the aggressor.
And then you have a black man elected as president, and you have people who refuse to believe he is a US citizen, let alone the president.
If you don't see these patterns and this repeated effort to control the narrative, you are blind to what's going on. It's a reality, it's deplorable, and it wears down on even the strongest willed individual after a while.
