I grew up thinking “Fresh Prince,” “Cosby,” and “Family Matters” reflected something true-to-life, in the same way “Full House” or “Home Improvement” did. I naively thought the whole, “blood drawn by the lash be repaid by blood drawn with the sword” thing Lincoln invoked during the war between the States served as reparations. I opposed Obama in both elections, but thought in the first one that maybe people would stop bitching so much about race.
Then King Nigger reigned for 8 years and the 90s consensus exploded. Then I spent almost a decade living in a diverse city and got to see an actual ‘bad’ shoot get ignored because the victim was a cracker while St. Floyd of Fentanyl got lionized and had cities burned in his name.
Now? Now I just don’t care anymore. 13% do 50%+ of the crime, “around blacks, never relax,” etc. Fuck the naive kumbaya bullshit.
