To understand African American's today one has to recognize they have been beaten like dogs for 300 years. Slavery, black chain gangs, fear and segregation. Terrible stuff.

This destroyed their culture and and egos and did not allow them to have the same benefits as everyone else. Like education and wealth and a life free from fear.

Education gets passed on from generation to generation, but has to start somewhere.

And racism still exists today and few things are more destructive to a person's healthy development than something like racism.

Our society owes the African American's big time. The natives got land and help, but the African Americans got nothing.
