I don't know how old you are; however, prior to the '60's, there were a LOT of blacks, who NEVER saw themselves as a member of a group, and most assuredly, NOT a " special " class of victims. You are quite correct, though, that far too many blacks ( but then, so do certain " special interest " whites ) see themselves as a " group ", rather than as an individual. That only hurts them; whether or not they vote GOP.

Maybe it's different for me, I'm real young, at the tender age of eighteen years. I never see myself as part of any group, except that I am an American. Other than that, I see myself as an individual with my own mind. No one can speak for me.

There will be tremendous improvements in America if Blacks would stop seeing themselves as victims. Until then, there is no hope.

For someone as young as you are ( your age came as a surprise, dear ! ), you have your head screwed on right ! Your parents did a fine job, and you ,obviously, use your God given brains well. : - )

I can tell you, from my own experiences, that even as far back as the late '40s, the '50s , and the early '60s, many blacks did NOT think of themselves as " victims ", nor as a " special " group. The " Black Power " movement ( NOT the Civil Rights movement ! ) and the Liberals, foisted that upon blacks... as a group.
