This deserves its own article. For confirmation bias determines how we see who can contribute, how, and how much. When Americans see Black skin, they read "welfare mom with twenty kids," a bullshit story that Ronald Reagan promulgaged and the whole country leapt on hand over fist and still does. They do not see the long long long long list of inventions, the contributions of Black folks despite all the stories, long overdue movies, blah blah blah. When White folks DO see those movies what tends to happen is that they say that it's just a handful of folks who did that. Okay, sure. It's also just a fucking handful of White folks who ended up super contributors, too, but you don't hear that. If I wanna see what White America looks like all I gotta do is see a Trump rally, full of welfare moms with six kids, Karens et. al. and fat old and young White guys with multiple convictions and all of them with serious mental issues (beginning with, say, white supremacy). What I see when there's a BLM march is well dressed-usually-Black folks with degrees asking NOT TO BE FUCKING SHOT.
