Black People ARE Oppressed. But Not in the Way Most People Believe. (Vanity)

[Cubs Fan]

Blacks are oppressed by the looters and arsonists destroying black businesses in anger.

Blacks are oppressed by other blacks who kill blacks (93 percent of black homicide victims) to the tune of 6 to 10 thousand a year.

Blacks are oppressed by their black fathers, the majority of whom abandon them and their mothers to fend for themselves. Blacks are oppressed by black mothers, many of which abandon their children to relatives or the foster system because they are unfit (Michael Brown's mother was one such mother).

Blacks are oppressed by the people they elect who bankrupt their cities and tell them lies about how to make their situation better, but nearly always make it worse.

Hundreds of years of slavery couldn’t do to the Black community what 50 years of liberal welfare state policies have done.

Growing up, we were brothers bound by the love of music. No affirmative action, white privilege, or racism toward one another except in jest. Just skill and talent earned respect and admiration. It was a good time back then.

Here's an example of that: Jaco Pastorius (c. 1976)

Many of the players on this album were black. The piano work by Herbie Hancock is outstanding.

Blacks are oppressed by their own self-defeating culture.
