Answer: It’s due to the fact that there are millions of people alive today who were the victims and perpetrators of this system.

Whites seem to only be willing to admit wrongs when all the people involved directly in the wrongs are dead and gone. That way no one (meaning whites) can be held responsible. Fifty years from now whites will be saying that Jim Crow ended long ago and it was terrible but everyone is dead and gone now…so no one can be held accountable. Classic. It’s just like MLK….hated when he was alive and only respected in his death. If he were still alive…they would treat him the same way as they treat Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
You didn't live through slavery or Jim Crow, you're not one of those people today who were victims. If MLK were alive today he would laugh at people like Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and YOU.

I'm offended at how unfunny those Hallmark cards are in general.

You're not and have never been racially oppressed and there is no such thing as white supremacy, get over it and actually do something with your life instead of living this victim lifestyle always trying to blame your failures on other, usually white, people.

*****rdly is an adjective, do describe spending habits

it is no more offensive than the hallmark card

IS' and NAACP's ignorant racism is much more offensive than any of the above.

The only qualification that counts is the intent. There was no racist intent to the greeting card. If you see racism, that's on you. Tough. Get a grip. Get a job. Be somebody.

Yes...and your "whiteness" gives you Omnipotence to know my stature and experiences as a black man in America.

No, a history book and a calendar gave me all the info I need to know that you're not and have never been a slave or racially oppressed by white people no matter how much you lie about it. Thanks for spell checking those big words though, I appreciate that a lot!
