I understand your point, but if you want retribution, then let's cut all blacks a check and get it over with. Otherwise, I don't see how racism is going to end racism. Do we cut women a check too? Any other groups?

How about us poor boys born in Arkansas? Obviously I didn't have the opportunities you and ted did being lucky enough to be born in the north and blessed with three degrees and BMWs.

I agree some black Americans have a hard time these days. Especially if you are a hard working, successful black man. The politicians and black leaders will attack you for selling out.

And then I guess while we're at it, we must address the problem of white men who are having a hard time of getting high paid jobs in the NBA. Seems almost all of the players are blacks. The NBA is stacked against them is it not? Seriously. We must start bending things in the NBA to rectify these many years of racism in the NBA.

Btw, what are black people up against today that any one else is not up against? Bill Cosby had it pegged. And he was attacked for his position.

While you're here, at what point do we stop "bending things in their favor"? Sounds like the NBA is a good place to start.

At least all the black people had work when they first came to America.
