you cant just expect people over night to rebound from that.

id say the gains blacks have made in the past 50 years is more then one could hope for.
Over night?! It has been 50 yrs!! And once again, I and my parents and their parents had NOTHING to do with that! Not every white person was racist or is racist you know

Is this a joke? What kind of bs nonsense is this?

There was what, four or five countries which participated in the slave trade?


Did the Italians, Irish, Scotts, Germans, Russians, Poles, Swedes, etc participate in the slave trade? Most White Americans are German, they didn't participate in the slave trade.

This is the biggest kind of nonsense I've ever read. Black people in this country have it great where-as any country they are a majority is a disaster. How about reparations in the form of $$ and a ticket to West Africa so they can live in the motherland away from oppressive Whitey? Looks like they are doing GREAT over in Africa - the hotbed of science, art, culture and technology.

We have especially seen this in inner cities like Philly where gun crime is through the roof and Baltimore. If there is a concerted effort by a significant number of white people to say "sorry" and even give reparations out of their own pockets to help black people do you think it will cause those crimes to go down? This is an idea based on a group from Memphis that wants to say forgiveness.

Are you for real? Race relations are a serious issue please play with something else. That picture will be used by some racist organization to stir hate in white people.

While I think this is crazy do not insult by saying get over it. Would you tell a Jewish person the Holocaust happened get over it?

The elite should get to them right after they get to the Natives, for the stealing of their land, perverting of their culture, and the genocide of their ancestors. But they can forget it, too many prideful selfish people for that to happen.

Ever read a book? Read some history and learn more about our current system and you may just feel anger too. Especially if you're at the bottom of the system. Unless you are incapable of empathy...or are too busy making money off their backs.

That woman is a disgrace. Maybe black people should apologize to white people for making my ancesters leave their neighborhoods due to increases in crime when they moved in. Oh thats right that sounds as moronic as the OP assertions.
