The DIFFERENCE is..."we" rose above it, we PROVED our worth, our equality...why haven't blacks? Why do blacks STILL practice slavery and genocide against each other in Africa? Who do you think CAPTURED the slaves that were purchased on the coast? Blacks enslaved blacks...we didn't. Yet WE get the blame.
Speaking the truth about another species isn't "nasty", it's trying to save you from your own illogical decisions. They're NOT us and treating them like they are has brought the country down from #1 to #25. The longer this facade of equality is allowed to continue...the lower we'll slide. Black places are down at the bottom...will the US sink below Haiti or Somalia?

Who are your people? My mother's side of the family has been here in the US since about 1680. We could have African-Americans, Native Americans, and many many other DNA groups running through our blood stream.
Groups of people are fluid with respect to their ethnicity unless labelled by others as "African-American", "Native American" etc. Being black often has more to do with what kind of culture people value rather than what others label them as being.
What does "black places" even mean?
