You are absolutely correct on this point...I can not tell you how much it embarasses when I see the black community demanding more of a hand out as opposed to a hand up...

There is hostility from both sides because there are no easy answers...

In Africa, I see the same thing you do...Though I wish it had not taken slavery to get us here, I have to concede that is a blessing in disguise on some levels because I am here in this free country with all the rights, privileges, and responsibilities and able to have this discussion with you.

By the way, just because there are still problems doesn't mean you and I have the total responsibility or burden of solving them.... We can contribute greatly simply by not making them worse...

I disagree...the answers ARE easy, but no one has the nads to implement them. They all can be summarized by:

People do NOT appreciate what they do not work for

Life's is unfair sometimes...deal with it

Don't live in the past

You are capable of making your own decisions, dont enslave yourself

and naturally, end social welfare/entitlements/AA/abortion(whose "founder" really hated blacks and wished to use abortion as a way of exterminating them) and public education

That all sounds like basic common sense to me.
