I am surprised that this is so severely downvoted.

The second and third paragraphs are excellent, with sources, and I have very different standards for voting depending on the speaker and what I expect from him or her. Do others not? I would encourage sam0345 to make more posts like this until they are standard for him, and then later dowvote him for such posts when posts like this are typical for him.

Upvoted.

I am surprised that this is so severely downvoted.

If it had excluded the sentence "No one gets beaten up for being black - and very few people ever did," I would have given it an upvote without a second thought. Because of that comment, I gave it an upvote only because I think it doesn't deserve to be at -6, and would not have upvoted it if I saw it at 0.
