Video from May 19, 2021 via C-SPAN. "They destroyed everything. ... I still see that in my mind 100 years later. I was so scared we wouldn't make it out alive."
Message to White Conservatives: It's kind of hard for poor Black Americans to "pick themselves up by their bootstraps" when your actions (be it a century ago, a few decades ago, or even today) like burning down their churches and businesses keep them from achieving economic equality/stability.
Your message makes no sense from the beginning of it. Although, it was white people but it was "White Liberals." Now, I understand that it's hard because your party is the party of slavery, hatred, destruction, rioting, looting, etc... Just because a group of liberals go around and tear down statues and burn down cities does not mean you can change history.
