Neither one of you are African American so you don't know our plight - so if you think African Americans did better under Bush you are kidding yourself - thanks to the GOP and tea party promoting hatred and for poisoning people's mind to think a Black man is not worthy of being POTUS - this has led to increase in racism from whites and it is happening right under your nose.

First, I've said it before and I will say it again, It has absolutely nothing to do with the melanin in a persons skin, but it has everything to do the mentality of a person. Just in case you're not aware of what that "mentality" is, let me lay it out for you. It started back when the government started giving out handouts, i.e. welfare, affirmative action, probably two of the most deleterious actions that could have been done for the black population. If you look at society today and blacks who have chosen not to fall into the "victim pit" they are prosperous and very much welcomed in all communities, as they know how to conduct themselves in a society of "order". Realize that for every action there is a reaction and sometimes the consequences of those reactions are frowned upon by those in the "victim pit", and they wish to charge those that are in charge of enforcing laws that were put into place by
the government whether it be federal, state or local. (certainly not that I agree with all laws e.g., the law that Liberals put in place in New York State on not selling single cigarettes, as business was booming due to Liberals sky taxations on cigarettes.
The best thing any black person can do is go out into the communities and help get people working, and quite feeling that everything is owed to them, own up to their foibles and make a flourishing life for themselves. The old axiom, Where there's a will there's a way. This s--t is getting old, take responsibility for your own actions and quit thinking the world owes you a living.
