Quit looking at some civil rights leader and assuming we all feel the same way. The number of "Black People this" and "The Black Community that" threads I've seen are astounding, and quite sad when considering the irony of those who do not wish to be generalised into an extreme minority. We're not asking for apologies... but some black certainly aren't pleased. You have to remember that with the end of Slavery came little to no compensation... which will inevitably lead to a cycle of poor practice to include living, attitudes, etc. I've quit acting as if the whites of today are the problem... and you should quit acting as if we stood on equal ground once equal rights were put into place.

There is such thing as a head start, and some are still trying to get their pants on.
