If you're trying to say that person's demise was because he was born black then how do you propose we change that?
1. Admit that systemic racism, injustice and prejudice against blacks...is still rampant today.

2. Folks admit that deep down, they're really glad they weren't born black in this country...because you know how much tougher you would have had it.

3. Vow to constantly fight against racism/bigotry/xenophobia/bigotry/prejudice/Etc.


Ahh, never mind, even the most racist try to hide that fact and would never even think...of doing any of those things.
