Black people have gone from slavery to 3/5 of a person to emancipation to segregation to integration to free in a world of discrimination and white privilege. It’s clear there is still much work to do to tackle racism and inequality in American society.
In the same time frame white people have gone from hypocritical Christians supporting and benefitting from slavery to willing to die for the nation to supporting emancipation to working in the courts and the streets for racial justice, all the time pushing against white privilege.
What this says to me, and what is not often noted, is that the journey for equality for the black people is intimately linked to the achievement of white people of true Christian behavior and deep moral character.
