The world was a better place in the past. For certain people. That’s a lie of omission.
The subtext is that if you’re “certain people”, the world would be made better for you by making it worse for “not certain people”. That’s another lie.
Which people though? Because even white people are better off now. It’s just the gap between races shrank, and racists hate seeing others succeed where they aren’t.
They view other races’ situations getting marginally better compared to theirs, as something that makes their life worse.

Valid point well made - thanks for that.
I’ll be folding that into future screeds. ;)
