Yeah but if you're a middle-class black voter* with a standard of living significantly higher than a UK citizen, is that actually true. My great-grandparents doubtless had awful lives. Doesn't mean that applies to me. *of which there are now millions.

I get your point but… perhaps it depends how often the local police stop them in their BMW for no reason? Also the good old days of awful US racism aren’t as far away as great grandparents.
