The building of institutions is no longer an issue. The issue is now the corruption of institutions when they become successful.

How is building institutions not an issue when we barely have any? Not to discount your point but I think we need more institutions as well as a way to properly address corruption.
Just an observation. Maybe institution is the wrong word, but any movements that would spawn institutions - black power, civil rights, hip hop. It seems like they get infiltrated before black people can build on it.
I fully agree, even some of the pillars like HBCUs have a lot of issues. Even still, the right people spearheading the effort would help. What I notice is that the ones with principles lack the resources to make their institutions even bigger and the ones with resources are more likely to be corrupt or work for selfish reasons.

FactThey mentioned it maybe one time as "Race Riots" in one small paragraph as we skipped straight to MLK having a dream
It was called the “Tulsa race riot” in my black ass county.
It wasn’t until college that I learned what happened.

The hate is rooted in jealousy and fear.

Again.
I don't agree with this.
A police officer ripping you out of a car and beating you black and blue isn't afraid nor is he jealous.
He's getting an opportunity to live out his sadistic desires, shyt ain't fear.
When Skinheads seek out someone to fukk up after a show who's the ONLY black kid.
They aren't afraid, nor are they jealous.
They're seeking to fukk someone Black up purely because they're Black.
When someone sees you roll up to the job interview and immediately dismisses you.
That's not "jealousy" or some secret "fear" you'll excel in the work place.
They have a burning disgust and disdain for you and right there in that moment they have the power
exercise that disgust.
Seen it in action too many times to all of that hate is rooted in some kind of inborn jealousy or fear of
the "natural order" being upset or something like that.
This is on the New York times so there's a paywall after a certain number of views.
But I thought it was pretty cool to look at:
