The black community in the U.S. is unfortunately a disaster. Handed more at the expense of everyone else in America (including other minorities), the black community as a whole fails miserably. The response is always the same. "We've been denied/discriminated against". It's always someone elses fault. Well, here are the facts. The black community is the only "people" in our nation that have had a nation purchased for them (by white Americans). This nation is actually on the continent that they so eagerly call themselves first, before American! That's right, it's in Africa. Most in the black community wouldn't even know this. It's called Liberia!! One additional, but interesting note. The name Shaniqua isn't African. The former President of Liberia, a criminal himself,  was named "Charles Chuck Taylor"!!! Imagine that. No, he didn't own the Converse shoe company. Liberia, it's also a disaster. Let's talk about pain, suffering and slavery in the black community. Prior to the late 50's and 60's most in all communities in our nation were in one way or another self sufficient. What I mean is, "no free rides". Today, that is still the case, as long as you are from any race but black. Neither my children nor I have ever been given and I mean GIVEN an education at Princeton.  Nevertheless, some blacks have never been proud of their country. Slavery was in the 19th century for blacks in this country and no one today is either responsible for it or deserves any claims/reparations because of it. Take the honorable Jewish people for example.  They not only were enslaved in the middle part of the 20th century, but also brutalized and murdered. They were treated with contempt and scorn by many in this country, not just in fascist countries. Infact, the black communities own Jesse Jackson in the 80's referred to NY City as Himey town (not sure if that's the proper spelling). Do you here them whining, demanding or in any way acting as though they must have what you have, because they don't. Do they ask for extra points on numerous entrance and employment exams. No. They simply take responsibility for who and what they are and they things happen as a proad and honorable people. No, I am not Jewish. I am a white Anglo-Saxxon Roman Catholic convert. Actually, I simply returned to the faith that all of my ancestors once were. Interestingly enough, the Jews were also given a territory to call their own. It is today the envy of many nations, economically, socially (within it's borders) and indeed militarily. Why, because they look to God and believe they can do. Coincidentally, that kind of faith and belief is what built this nation. Stop whining and blaming everyone else. Take responsibility for yourself and do for yourself (legally), or move to the African country that was handed to you in the early 1800's and enjoy really being African. God Bless All. Straightalker.
