How is the discrimination they are facing today not "oppression". He is making a huge deal out of semantics. The obvious implication from his direct quote is that black people today are not victims of racism.
I didn't get that "implication" at all. Again, seeing what you want to see. Also, the only person I see engaging in a semantic argument is the one I just quoted.
