The achievements of black Americans prove that success does not require perfect visibility. Perhaps the deeper lesson is the courage to move forward without waiting to see ourselves first.
I am sure of only one thing: the radical leftist movement to foreground black people, in every aspect of western culture, from billboards, to actors, to ads, to, well lets face it, everything, has done nothing to change views on 'race' or attitudes to black people.
Its simply exhausting, shallow, takes jobs or attention away from all the other non white actors/stories, and if anything has made people less inclined to care about black lives.
The irony....
We were doing just fine until Obama...we had it, progress, anti racism, more equity, etc...now we see the rise of racism again...no wonder...basic pyschology.
So succinct as well as sagacious! Thank you for this little piece.

Enjoyed the nuance and humor.
