So, we are going to take all of these other ethnic groups and slip black people in there with them and everyone will go in together and we will make this about diversity which is good for companies.

Diversity programs of not helped. They have skimmed the top. In the lycee, hey look at all of our diversity. Look at this guy from uganda. That is diversity. And blacks who were hurt by slavery and jim crow continued to fall prevent further behind. There is a blackwhite conversation that needs to be had and we need to have both.
