A bruh from Beta Omicron chapter asked me a few years ago to think what it would be like if black people just disappeared instantly from this country. I thought deeply about it and even reflected more on a hypothetical situation where black people (and other under-represented minorities) had never existed in America. I don't think I, alone, can think of a solution to this thread but I wonder what others think of the above post.
