Define "oppressed".

What is the underlying cause of this oppression? Dig deep on that question. Saying slavery isn't enough. Why did blacks become slaves in the first place? Why didn't they just fight off whitey?

Many understand but just don't care/want it to change.

What can be done?

Electing black leaders does not do the job. What are the alternatives. More of the same?
You say electing black leaders does not do the job and I agree with you. However, do you honestly think that blacks would vote for anyone with a different skin color if given a choice? Remember, answer honestly.

It's funny how dirt poor Asians and Hispanics immigrate here....often illegally so they have even less help....and they end up OK.

Asians do better overall than whites. Are whites oppressed?
For Asians, actions speak louder than words. They work hard , focus on their careers and do so with little to no fuss or bother to others. A model group in our society.

No protests, no attacks, no endless excuses , no nonsense and non offensive.

We need Asians to educate Blacks on how to better their lives . Somebody needs to . As they definitely think Whites are out to get them.

What you're asking is akin to why a battered wife didn't punch her abusive husband's lights out. Blacks in slavery were so psychologically and spiritually broken that they were stripped of their will to fight.

Now unless you have a solution for giving my people a mental and spiritual detox after 400+ years of struggle, then it would be wise not to ask such questions.

They had the physical ability , just didn't have the technology to do so .

And by the way Sub-Saharan Africans have been fighting off lions ( African lions) for thousands of years.

That's why blacks today are so meek and mild, never standing up for themselves, never objecting to any slight or injustice. I mean... who ever heard of a black person fighting over anything? It never happens. Blacks need to get over this legacy of slavery and learn to care more about being disrespected.

Because Blacks believe the crap that Democrats feed them.
Democrats supported slavery now they stay in Power by pushing the oppression BS.

Many uneducated Blacks are still in Slavery to the Govt.

Education and work is the key.
