13193009, stabbing a man in the back and pulling the knife half out ain't progress

to paraphrase Malcolm X. That's my personal view of where the Nation is at as far as progress goes. It appears that things are different but the context or end results rather are still the same.

Who is struggling with it? Not white people IMO

Right, the knife is halfway out

This for me is where it gets muddy. Slavery is gone but now you have mass incarceration in it's place. Legally mandated segregation is gone but now folks economically segregate among other ways e.g. socially.

Even IF whites allow themselves to become a minority they will still hold the wealth which will mean white supremacy will still thrive, just like South Africa
We don't disagree that ultimately it will come to an end, I just can't see it being without a good amount of bloodshed and catastrophe.
