Politics in America is a sick joke. I write in a protest "no acceptable candidate" so often it is hardly worthwhile for me to vote. The only thing that could fix it is for that to be a valid choice and if no acceptable candidate got the most votes, they vacated the office until the next election. That might cause them to take the voters seriously.

As for how black people are doing now, while my circle is too small to be a statistic, but it includes people from the Caribbean islands. Their ancestors arrived on slave ships liked the ones in America. Two observations about them. (1) They are on average more successful. (2) They are on average less inclined to wear a chip on their shoulder.

One might be left to wonder, is there a relationship and if there is an element of cause and effect, in which direction?

I've started muting the Medium authors who write a new article nearly every day and always with the world "white" in the title, so I don't start thinking they are the real voice of black people and go out and find a klu Klux Klan claverin to join. (O,K, that's hyperbole, but not by enough to feel good about)
