No amount of wealth, fame, education or brilliance could ever elevate Black persons beyond the reach of racism.

Even the presidency couldn't save Pres Barack Obama.

The Royalty couldn't save Princess Meghan.

Wealth couldn't save Black people in Tulsa.

Because Race > class
To say that wealth will shield Black people from Police terrorism is simply ignorant.
Pres Obama was the most powerful man on earth for 8 years. The leader of the free world.
He could utter an order that could spark a nuclear war. One word from him could crash the global market. He was that powerful bc the office he held.

But he was just a Black man in America.
The only President in History forced to release his birth certificate before the Nation & the world.
He had to prove his legitimacy & loyalty to the country.
