This passage in the article rang the most true to me. “ Along with the other perks, blacks have not one but TWO federal holidays dedicated to themselves. They also have a whole month devoted to their history. They even now own the Super Bowl halftime show.

But none of it is enough. America is still too white supremacist in the view of Ruha Benjamin and others.”.

It never is enough and White liberals eyes o hope more and more see this. No amount of appeasement is ever enough to the Ruha Benjamin’s of this world. They cry more so you appease more and then the crying continues for more appeasement. Maybe appeasement is not the answer and allowing there separation from us would be better. Just like WE Dubois or Marcus Garvey wanted.

Water fountains and public restrooms were silly to have segregation for, but schools were drastically harmed by integration. Black kids instantly brought more fist fights, more fighting with teachers, less sitting still in class, paying attention, and made learning impossible, especially in middle school. I like the term freedom of association more than segregation, but yes in schools it would make a huge difference to do what Trevor Noah suggests. Ruha Benjamin sounds like a complete moron, and a total DEI hire who would never get such a position otherwise.
