That's the catch-all "cop out" that's been employed by american blacks ever since Martin Luther King's dream was lost - or forgotten - or tarnished. That "cop out" is also the reason why the subject has never been poperly discussed and why no solution is in sight. There's not even a stategy or a game plan.
The "hole" or perpetual loop-hole in your statement is that you can never supply
"a valid reason" to someone who's not interested in the solution. They
prefer calling you a racist. And in so doing keep frustrations high and the true subject of American racism at arms length.
Racism was incorporated into America by way of the white racist but it thrives (today) by way of the black racist.

If mere colour were so important to reality then you'd be arrested for not washing
"the figure of a WHITE man hanging in your front yard" as soon as it gets dirty.
You see,
Manic_Skafe - it
IS an interesting subject.
