a strong 30% have gone the path of the jeffersons.
movin on up. those left behind continue to blame the whites for all their troubles.
white guilt has been over marketed and and over produced.
it will soon go the way of the slinky.

I'm black and I dont think slavery and Jim Crow still hinders this country....

I'm sick of the excuses and cop outs regarding Slavery and I'm sure Caucasians are too!

Yes slavery was hideous and deplorable but it has nothing to do with today's society

Move on people....please!

That's because it is the correct answer. It is right to look back and learn from the mistakes in our past. It is wrong to use the mistakes made over 100 years ago as an excuse for one's failures today.

What he probably wants is a complete role reversal of the 1800s with all the money and land going to blacks and all the whites their slaves. If he wants that then travel to Zimbabwe.
