Oh wow, fantastic debating skills, A+ for effort. Seriously though, since when have blacks been genuinely oppressed in recent decades? You can bring up police shootings all you want, but so far as I'm concerned, those are isolated incidents at most (and they happen to be the isolated incidents that the corrupt media most enjoys bringing to the spotlight constantly, despite whites being just as liable to fall victim to police brutality). The entire police force doesn't have it in for blacks, laws are in place to explicitly punish employers who stunt people based on skin color, we had a black man in office, groups such as the KKK have a very negative social stigma to them (among people of ALL political affiliations), blacks have had the same rights as everyone else in this country for the past half a century, anyone calling for reparations over stuff they were never alive for are nothing but selfish and ironically racist crybabies, get over yourselves.

ITP: The CRA passed in the 60s means any racism or racist act committed since then is a non-issue, because "Hey, blacks, ya'll gots rights now. Suck it up!"

In 2016 alone, there were hundreds of incidents where police shot a black person to death, in many cases the victim was unarmed. No one is saying white people aren't subject to police brutality, even shootings. That's a poor argument and a shitty attempt to divert from the fact that blacks being gunned down by cops is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to systemic racial inequality in the US.

Just because the CRA was passed doesn't mean racism magically ended. You want to lay on the sarcasm with your "A+ for effort" comments, you might want to at least have a halfway decent argument yourself, not some dumbass "the Civil Rights Movement is over because we had a black president" bullshit.

Try not being completely out of touch with reality. I know it can be difficult from inside your little cocoon of privilege.
