You make it sound like years of segregation, oppression, abuse and intolerance are a minor thing.
You do realize that black people have no reason to bitch anymore because that happened years ago right?
It's not just that. Its that a majority of people in America are immigrants. Face it. Most of us are either Asian, European, or African. The people that enslaved the blacks were English. I'm not English, just as I'm not white. I'm Italian/Spanish, so I consider myself European American if you want to get technical. But it's like every other nationality had their hardships. Irish were slaves, Africans were slaves, the people of Poland and Jerusalem among other races were in the Holocaust, the Asians were persecuted in the U.S during WW2, but whats in the past is in the past. There is nothing that can be done that can make amends so you have to move on and make the best of life. Besides, most of the people that actually had to deal with slavery of the Africans are dead or are on the verge of death. This is a new age which should be prosperous and easy going, we shouldn't focus on negatives, however, but moving forward in society.
