i mean, hellz yeah that means things have gotten better!

does it mean we're in the Promised Land? no. but yes, things are better than they were in the Jim Crow era. we can acknowledge that (acquiescently or reluctantly even) w/o capitulating to whitey.

it's ok.

b/c things are better due to OUR action, not b/c whitey gave us anything willingly.
