As an older, white male, I can only begin to imagine the hardships and discrimination endured by most African Americans. On the other hand, I suspect that all minority groups seek equality, not special treatment.
They, like other Americans, seek access to quality day care and education for their children. They want equal justice under the law and equal opportunity within businesses and corporations. They, like all of us, want freedom from harassment and discrimination, equally able to enjoy the economic, recreational and cultural benefits of living in this country.
Unfortunately, contrary to the opinion of Trump and his sycophants, there is systemic racism in America and its cure must include erasing the inequities that exist. Reforming the criminal justice system will be a good start but equality of opportunity must be enforced across the entire spectrum of American life.
