[Radix]

"A lot of African-Americans who were around before 1965 still rankle about living in a country where segregation existed."

Tell them to get over it.

I was denied a few job opportunities because of the color of my skin back in the 1970s.

That is so despite the fact that I grew up in neighborhoods where I was the minority. I don't care if anyone believes that to be so or not.

I simply think that this business of accusing all white folks of being racist is simply a tactic of left wing radicals who are patently dishonest about the nature of this country as things currently stand.

Good point. There have been a lot of past injustices but they remain in the past. Being angry and bitter towards white people on account of what historically happened to black people is giving them the power to run your life. You should run your life on your own terms and stop caring what other people think about you. When black Americans start being happy with who they are, they will gain the respect of other people. That is what comes with being an equal. Being victims of Da Man will never give them what they're seeking.
