>The damage to any culture after 350+ years of trauma would be massive and would take decades, if not longer, to repair. It's been shown that the historical factors are actually pretty overblown... Blacks have a hard time succeeding in this country because of things happening to them TODAY as much as anything that happened in the past (while that was always horrible). If hiring discrimination were to be resolved, police treated black neighborhoods just like they treated the white ones, class sizes in minority heavy public schools were reduced the size of classes in those that aren't; people in the inner city being given access to better shelter/nutrition/healthcare from birth, you'd see these racial gaps close considerably. Which is why it'd be good if we did those things. The racial animus by whites that made it OK to make Africans slaves and keep them separate led to stop-and-frisks, white flight, and fewer resources put into inner cities once blacks showed up there... It's been there for centuries and manifests itself in the attitudes we see on this forum. -Z
