Look, this essay's all over the place. It claims Black America is a nation like Kosovo or Kurdistan, ignoring the vastly different contexts. It overgeneralizes, saying all U.S. presidents thought they led a monocultural nation. The writer uses emotional language to paint a picture of Black Americans living under occupation, which is a gross exaggeration. The comparisons to Russia and China are red herrings, and the anecdotes about police treatment don't prove systemic issues. The piece begs the question by assuming "Black America" is a nation without solid evidence. It's riddled with logical fallacies and fails to make a coherent, compelling argument.
