If the American black family was a spotted owl or grey wolf, it would be on the endangered species list. There would be a national campaign to save the black family. There\u2019d be galas, commercials, bumper stickers \u2026 My friends, what has happened in the black community is nothing short of a cultural genocide, and it\u2019s the cause of 90 percent of the problems that we face in our communities. Not the mystical systemic racism. This is not the dream that Martin Luther King had in mind, and it\u2019s been a nightmare for children. born during this time.

That this is the least racist period in our country\u2019s history in one of the least racist countries in the world. So having lived through the Jim Crow South, my parents and grandparents would have loved to have grown up in the America that I grew up in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Qualls explained that, even within his own family of origin, a great contrast exists in the lives of his and his wife\u2019s children and those of some of his siblings:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"13\">\n<p>My children are the only ones that grew up with both a mother and a father in the home. Half their cousins have never finished high school. None have gone on to college. Half my nephews have been incarcerated. My nieces are mothers of children, having never been married. So, how do we explain these differences? Was the systemic racism built into American society? Or was it something else? Well, here you have two tales from the same family, same skin color, yet the disparities are quite broad.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Qualls said that, while he grew up first in Harlem in New York City, and then in a trailer park in Oklahoma, where he was often called \u201cghetto kid\u201d and \u201ctrailer trash,\u201d he was motivated to get an education, which he called \u201cthe great equalizer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, he began a marketing career in the healthcare industry, where, at 36 years old, he became responsible for a $94 million budget.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrust me, I tell people all the time, I\u2019m no one exceptional,\u201d Qualls told his audience. \u201cI live in an exceptional country.

My parents and grandparents lived through systemic racism. I did not. Over the course of my life \u2026 I received help from people, personally and professionally, that didn\u2019t look like me. I received help from people who were black and white, rich and poor, male and female, from all over the country. They helped out of the goodness of their hearts. How do I know that?
