We are in complete agreement then. I am glad to know this.
Of course it was racist. It still is racist. And some blacks are some of the most racist people on earth.
*I know this all too true unfortunately and in very personal ways. See my posts on West Indian immigration! When I started out in college, I tried to understand 'black rage' and joined the black student's union. Except, the more I tried to understand and fit it, the more I heard a lot of anti-white hate, and things like 'you have to forget about your dad most white men aren't like him'. Really, the less I tried to 'feel people's pain' and just remembered what my parents taught me, the better off I was. More and more I believe that conservatism and pure American Dream is the solution to 'black community' problems.
the more I tried to understand and fit it You cannot do it. No one can, except unreasonable people who feel the world owes them ...... the world.
That's why blacks are on the threshold of societal changes of cataclysmic proportions. Immigrants are flooding America who could gives a rat's hair about the classic black America civil rights struggle.
Immigrants are coming into America who are not going to feel compelled to feel guilty for imagined crimes against the noble black struggle.
Immigrants are going to see this as the bogus profit scheme it is. And as more and more immigrants and children of immigrants are elected into political office, the more you will see undeserved handouts to blacks disappear.
In a decade or so, the only blacks doing well will be those who earned it.
