[[Hmm for more than 15 generations they were kept as slaves and were not allowed to even learn. It was not until the 60's that full equality in all states was reached. That means they have had two generations. Worst of all the solution whites have offered them (democrats) is welfare not self reliance.. You need to cut them some slack..]]
Most of us are sick and tired of hearing about something that happened 400 years ago constantly used as a crutch or as an excuse for poor performance today, bad behavior, and a lack of respect for authority and the rule of law. It's time for blacks to get on with their lives and quit making excuses. Every other nationality and race that comes to this country become very sucessful because of hard work and self determination. Blacks are the only groups in this country that blames everybody else for their own failures and refuses to recognize their own shortcomings. Time to get off of the guilty white liberal kick, it just doesn't fly anymore.
Do most of you realize slavery did not end 400 years ago? do most of you realize blacks were kept out of some state schools to 40 years ago? maybe before most of you at whitepower.com get sick of hearing something you should count from the time it ended not the time it began. Most freepers are smart enough to realize nearly half a Milena of slavery can effect the base a culture has to build from..

wrong its times for the jessie jackson's and al sharptons and other race barters to knock it off *and that would include white race baiter and racist*. Its time to stop throwing money at people and throw opportunity at them instead. White liberals have hurt African Americans as much as anyone.

Naaa I hear white bigots blame blacks all the time for all their problems...

Sry spunky, I have no guilt over slavery, I in no way profited from it. I do realize that there are long term affects to long term oppression. Only in the past 15 years has Ireland recovered from the English and its been close to a century..
What that freeper said is factually correct. Slavery didn't end four hundred years ago. It started four hundred years ago and ended in 1860, segregation ending in the 1960s. It wasn't something that 'just happened'. Personally I think that in 2005 with the information superhighway and so many opportunities there's not much of an excuse for anyone failing.
