Being a white person, I wish I could go back and right the wrongs committed against black and Native peoples. However, together our ancestors have built the greatest nation ever to grace the earth.Vocal dysentary spewing out of the mouths of people like Sharpton and Jesse do not help racial harmony at all.
We've come along way in the past 30 years. Black people are alot better off financially and with more oppurtunities. But we still have a ways to go and every one of us can do our part.
Including the blacks! The "disadvantaged black" whining is really getting old. The black middle class is the fastest growing segment of our society.
They have as much opportunity as any other folks in our nation today; they just insist on living in the past.
We have that plague of white man's guilt, too. This country paid for slavery at a cost of over 600,000 lives. Our debt is clear. Now let's get on with livin!
