America is not even 400 years old Lol and every other race has been enslaved at one point in history and they managed to build themselves up why can't Blacks do the same? Quit blaming others for your failures.
At no other point in history has there been a society that claims to be as egalitarian, democratic and humanitarian as that of the western world today. You claim free market, capitalism, and meritocracy. You say that it's all good now, now everything is fair. When schemes that are actually fair, such as racial quotas are implemented you condemn it, saying that it goes against the fundamentals of equality. Equality, you say it again and again and again, almost as if it were a mantra that, if said enough, might actually be reality. But it's not. You say it while ignoring the fact that for four centuries the western white world benefited from the unpaid, forced labour of Afro-Carribeans. That for four centuries our race was dehumanised - considered as less than cattle. Our culture warped and systematically destroyed, our minds confined by an intentional denial of education - because what is educated must be man, and we were not to be so. For that would destroy the imperative. All of the western world was beginning to sing songs of liberty and democracy. Monarchies were toppled left right and centre, for how was it fair for one man to rule over another simply by virtue of his birth? The elephant in the room was ignored. And even when it was finally addressed, even when amazing grace was finally sung, almost a century later and it was still necessary for blacks to campaign for rights that were actually equal. A hundred years later and equal rights were still not given, much less restitution for the suffering, socioeconomic homicide and dehumanisation that slavery was. The forty acres and a mule that was promised? Not given. Blacks across America fought and shed blood for you freely, of their own volition, and still they were not given even an acre? Still they were regarded as less. 'Separate but equal', they said. But it was okay for a black child to be strung up in the street and lynched - to suffer abuse that the contemporary society responsible would likely find distasteful if meted out against a pet or animal. But it was okay, because he was black.
You act as though these events didn't give white people an innate socio-economic advantage. You question why we haven't been able to build ourselves up in three generations, when you yourself have had over five centuries to build yourself up off of not only your own efforts - but also by the vilely unethical unpaid labour of millions of slaves. Yes, it has been almost a century and a half since Slavery was in effect.
Yes, we are no longer born into slavery. But we are still born into its effects. If you can't see that socioeconomics and genealogy are inextricably linked then you're a fool. You say that the greatest and fairest race that humanity has ever experienced has begun, but ignore that by virtue of birth, your starting line was far ahead of ours.
Don’t worry.
