Such is life.

In the end, who can blame people in this regard. Black people are routinely told by the govt. and others (mostly the D party) that they are special and deserve an automatic advantage over non-black people because of a 40 year long attempt to right the wrongs of slavery, which ended in 1864. Moreover, the Civil Rights Act (designed to end discrimination) was 40 years ago. In the end, as long as one part of society gets an automatic leg up because of nothing they have done and because of nothing the other parts have done, there will be racism and resentment Yet, when any person (white or black) dares to point this out, they are lambasted as a racist.

Again, such is life.
