I'm at least 50.1% with Kanye on this. Racism is an actual thing and still exists, but the situation of African-Americans in the United States has in fact changed in recent decades. It has not had a significant impact on my life, nor on many African-Americans born after the tumult of the 60s. We need to not disrespect our elders and ancestors, who dealt with brutal and legally codified racism, by excusing the worst in ourselves and our communities by claiming racism.
