What does this mean, exactly..? "Black families?" As though slave ownership was some sort of norm for the black community? As though freedom in general was anywhere near a norm for the black community for hundreds of years? Nearly 90% of all black people on this continent were enslaved at any given point in our history prior to 1863, and the others certainly weren't all laying around, systematically launching the Triangle Trade and establishing hereditary lines of royalty whose wealth and prestige are still visible today.

Let me ask you... Who is supposed to be liable for the global slavery of our brothers? Who in this day and age should feel responsible for what happened and the way things were? Am I to feel guilty or in some way in debt to these families descendant from slaves? When in reality there might be a huge margin of blacks in america that were actually descendants of slavers of blacks!
When we talk racism, you have to go back to slavery, it is basically the root of the pain and oppression these people feel.
I am not racist I will say that bluntly, I've smoked more pot with blacks than white people and never did I feel like I should be sorry for anything my possible ancestors did.
So, lets have some real talk, what the fuck does the black community expect from people? Or is it only the government and thus tax payers? Affirmative action x2? Are there any laws still affecting blacks?
From my understanding this whole uprising lately over the race card was due to the zimmerman trial and quite frankly, I saw more blatant racism from trayvons family than anything.
