The "American Dream" is itself a troubling concept that hasn't meant and doesn't mean or include Black people. Not to mention that we have repeatedly chased this imaginary dream and have repeatedly reached a reverse of any progress. This has happened before, which is what made the 60's so it has to happen again.

Yeah. You are right about that. The American Dream never really included black people. It's amazing that many blacks are still able to achieve the American Dream in this society, due to all of the racial politics that go on. It looks like President Trump may have worsened this reverse of progress. Do you think that there will be some type of 60's type movement that will happen again?
