What the hell are you talking about? Acknowledging that black people and other minorities have had a hard time in the past that leads to present continued struggle IS NOT racism... It's acknowledging reality.
What IS racist is saying the behavior is innate to the race, not that minorities have consequently received the short end of the economic stick.
That's exactly what racism is. You ignore what actually happening to the individual and treat them all the same because of their skin color. White savior complex in action.
If you cannot understand the difference between recognizing the past hardships people in general have faced and continue to face and making assumptions about specific people you don't know ... you are literally too stupid to understand racism or privilege. Congratulations on being pathetically stupid.
You are the one doing that if you haven't realized. A person isn't defined by their skin color and they don't need a white savior telling them how oppressed their supposed to feel.
