Until you walk in their shoes you have no idea and obviously no understanding or compassion.

Anyone from any background or color must have the determination and desire to do the unthinkable. To make up in their mind to Be successful, and not to let the past of their families or ancestry to determine their future. Many blacks, whites and people from all over the world have become roll models, because they came to the conclusion. If they kept doing what they been doing, then they will keep getting what they have been getting! No matter the color of skin, many came out of low income housing, food stamps and free stuff and now are first generation millionaires. I know some personally the opportunity is there.

Funny that was 52 years ago and Black Americans are still fighting the same injustices.

Can you really say that we have not made a lot of progress in equality during the past 52 years?

If blacks would go and finish school to qualify for good jobs and have and raise children in a regular two parent household to instill values perhaps the black crime rate would go down substantially and their would be less interactons with police.

How come so many other minority groups of different races have done so well in America?
