“Really?! Exactly how many? And do you have any idea what kind of damage and disenfranchisement this horrific game of identity politics is wreaking and what the future ramifications can be.”
You don’t have any idea what kind of damage and disenfrancisement racism has caused.
I am old enough to have gone to a segregated all white elementary school. The companion all black school was a dump, with few resources, and poor pay for everyone. Your horrific game of denying the effects of government-imposed racism is what has the horrible ramifications. You can argue about what should be done now, but we can’t even have a conversation if you don’t get out of denial about what was going on in America from 1619 to about 1970.
