Time for them to quit expecting everyone to feel sorry for them and stand up and be assets to America instead of deficits. No one is denying them equal rights today.

You make an EXCELLENT point ... but one that is very un-PC and almost never said in polite company.
Here's the reality, amplifying what you said ... today's Black folk are
LUCKY their ancestors came to the US even if as slaves. Otherwise, instead of living in American where they can get some benefits while bitching about everything,
they would be stuck in some hellhole African country, probably dead or starving. In addition, the smart Black folk (like Ben Carson and countless others) worked their way out of their crappy circumstances.
Think about it ... especially you liberals with your predictable gasps and name calling. It's true ... and you know it -- American blacks are still better off than they otherwise would have been.
