My relatives were slaves more recently than theirs and nobody owes me anything. In fact, my great grandmother was a Jewish slave in Poland.......She died a wealthy woman.
The slavery/human rights issues the blacks and their leaders cling to is nothing but an excuse. If things are to improve for "African Americans", THEY need to move on and take responsibility for THEIR actions.
That is all they have to hold onto to explain their massive failures in our society. As long as they can keep saying their failures to advance in this nation are because some great, great grandparent was a slave, they won't have to take responsibility for having the highest, per capita, incarceration rates, murder/assault/serial killing/car jacking/home invasion/rape/ dope usage and sales rates, welfare rates, food stamp rates, section 8 housing rates, HS drop out rates, unwed pregnancy rates, UI rates, poverty rates, etc., etc., etc.
