Look it, my grandfathers were saddled with gun laws that forbade black people from owning any firearm.

Things aren't much better. Even when the KKK was lynching blacks, they only hung a few hundred of them total. Today that's the typical summer crime carnage in Washington DC. And of course today in a lot of big cities most people are not allowed to carry weapons, only the criminals carry weapons and people are not nearly as free to walk at night as they were in 1950.

You take a 50 year old black man who had to address a 10 year old white kid as "sir" or "ma'am" while they can turn right around and call this man "boy."

And today in New York City, the white residents have learned never to make eye contact with black men in the subway. But are the blacks better off now?

Oh, geez. The definite article 'the' to modify blacks. Not 'blacks', not 'black people', not 'black Americans'. No. It's "the" blacks.

Whatever, man.


Real men don't whine.
