You've probably never seen the "uneven playing field" because when you are the top you can never accurately perceive how far down the bottom is. You are probably right though. The feckless public school educations, inadequate health care, and indecent apartment/project housing innumerable black kids live with probably is as equal a playing field as black people will ever witness in the land of lieberty and justus for yall. Oops, forgot to mention the drugs/weapons ridden neighborhoods we inhabit. But that's probably our own fault, since we are extremely resistant to burning down the coca and poppy fields in our sprawling backyards and the handgun factories at the corners of our streets.

your assumptions, ingrained bias, proud dogmatic victimhood, and DNC-issued talking points kinda give you away.

Like someone else said: Blacks have been voting straight Democrat for 30 years and nothing has changed. If you're going to live on the Democrat plantation, you have no valid reason to complain about your handouts.

The simple way to stop drug traffic is to stop buying drugs. No need to go overseas and burn anyone's drug crop. I won't go so far as to say it's "your" fault, because I don't believe in collective guilt. But drug use certainly IS the fault of the drug user.

As for handgun factories -- gun ownership rates and crime rates are generally *inverse* in this country. The most violent cities are the most gun-controlled. Conversely, loosening restrictions has often been shown to reduce crime. So don't burn handgun factories: BUILD them.
