I may have misunderstood his racism view but I understood him to say that things such as black history month shouldn't exist because it is just history and should be treated as such. Basically, treated equally rather than have a specific month which I have to agree with. The way to reduce racism is to bring down barriers, not build them up so to speak, the US as a nation hasn't got a massive amount of history, of the history, major parts are related to either civil rights or slavery, a major part of black history in the US. It should be treated as mainstream and not a thing a month every year

Survivor bias, he made it so it's hard form him to see the barriers he passed longtime ago.

Simple, he can't unblack himself but he did unpoor himself, and as such, is just as much of a dick as 99% of all rich people.
