“I am not oppressed, and I am not a victim… racism in America would, by and large, be dead today if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support.”

Derrick Wilburn (a Black father speaking at a school board meeting). This is a well-known 2021 clip from a Colorado Springs-area school board meeting where he spoke against Critical Race Theory (CRT) in schools. He introduced himself as a direct descendant of the North American slave trade and delivered the exact quote in the post: “I am not oppressed, and I am not a victim… racism in America would, by and large, be dead today if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support.” The video has gone viral multiple times for its strong anti-victimhood and anti-CRT message.TRANSCRIPT
