    You think treating black people as human beings and giving them the same access to education as their white counterparts is “mask off”? What mask do you think I was wearing exactly???

    Go back 100 years, and you’ll find white people in the US putting up barriers to social mobility towards black people. That means not giving mortgages, or if they did, only for certain areas, and even then only at silly mark ups. The problem started back then, and its never been corrected. And no, DEI does not address this. Giving special treatment to the chosen few is not any kind of solution to the problem. Its little more than a way of saying “look, we’re one of good ones. We let you into our private club!”. If not supporting that shit makes me racist, well, thats fine. Cos the only people who would call me racist, are the type of people who always want black people with their hand out so they can get a pat on the back when they put some loose change in it.
