Hm. Jewish kid with centuries of culture, education and history might not have quite the same experience on state assistance as a black woman who is the descendant of multiple white rapists. Not to mention all the "legal" barriers to the generations of all her other descendants.
Jim Crow South? You lack a wee bit of self awareness if you think that era ended or is only in the South. Perhaps the only difference is there's only one plantation. That's why you still call it The White House.
A nation, or a people, comprised of sooo many unselfaware individuals cannot compose a self aware entity.
