it doesn't even begin to make up for went on for 200 years. If you were being honest, you would agree.

I agree, but it cannot make up for the abuses over the past 200 years. The people who where slaves are dead, as our the people who kept them in slavery, their children are at least mostly dead as well. They can not be helped, so you want to hurt people that look a little bit like the slave owners to help other people that look a little bit like the slaves. There is no justice in that.

Indentured servitude for blacks did not begin to end until the 60s. We are the first generation to be free of that shit. You don't reverse nearly 200 years of abuse in 40 years no matter how much you want that to be true. To whit, racists still abound in this society........first ring suburbs are now experiencing white flight like cities did 20 years ago. And don't come back and tell me whitey may be moving for any number of reasons.

Many of the whites in this country still have an aversion to living near people of color.

For that matter the decendents of slaves in the US are better off overall then if their ancestors had never been brought over to the "new world" as slaves. Look at most of Africa. How many black Americans would want to be part of that mess?

Okay, that's cool. We'll make sure that we keep their progress at levels just above that of Africans and then they will have to be grateful to us for that 'luxury'.
