The GOP hasn't done a damn thing for white folks either...so you KNOW black folks are assed out with them.
The GOP only likes black folks that join the club..everyone else had better watch their backs (for knives).
That's right. I didn't sit around waiting for things to fall on my lap. I knew I had to work for it and take advantage of public education as well as family assistance/encouragement.
On a time line, 9/10th of the time blacks have been in this country, white people have been passing and upholding laws with the expressed goal of subjugating and oppressing black people.
That's absolutely false.

So if now the government does things "for" black people to combat centuries of institutionalized racism and things done "to" black people, that's not a problem.
That, too, is absolutely false. You cannot "combat centuries of institutionalized racism". Those people are dead and there is NOTHING you can do to undo the past.

To say otherwise is to ignore history that isn't even that old.
No, not ignoring it. Learning from it, as you refuse to do.

The idea that just because we changed the law that said you can't treat this group of people differently for the sole reason that they are a member of X group, will suddenly make it so that the hateful mindset that passed those laws will vanish is wishful thinking.
This is pure gibberish. The people that passed those laws are long dead. The people that fought to UNDO those laws are also mostly dead. It's history. Learn that racial discrimination is wrong, already.

It may not be legal anymore but it will happen. So you put safeguards into the system to combat the bias.
Really? Kind of like Bush's No Child Left Behind policies?
Oh goody, do explain and then be sure to include Janet Napolitano's Common Core BS too while your at it!
