I used to be full of empathy for blacks and their “plight”, but no more.
My reservoir of empathy has been been sucked drier than the Sahara Desert.

I've posted ths before, but your comment(s) bear it out:

I've travelled a little bit around the world, courtesy of the 1950s U.S. Navy and a 1980s rent-a-rig oil company. It has been my observation that when a minority reaches parity or power, rather than roll up their sleeves and show the bigots what they can do, they yell "It's PAYBACK TIME!" and squander any good will the majority had for them.

It's being played out in Spades right now. Hopefully the reaction to the Martin/Zimmerman trial is a watershed and the majority finally stands up and says "ENOUGH of this crap" and acts accordingly.

Nobody has yet said those exact words out loud, but the silence is becoming plumb deafening.

(Remember that old saw about “Bit**ing sailors....”, shipmate?)
