[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4949037, member: 66082"] LOL, you are talking about what's wrong with the black race today, but you don't think their parents and grandparents being absolutely shut out of the mainstream of American society has anything to do with black Americans right now? What a bizzaro ahistorical perspective. But its even worse than that because there is AMPLE evidence that black Americans still face wide spread discrimination in employment, housing, the criminal justice system, access to health care, educational opportunities, business loans, investment capital for businesses, etc and so on. Your part about the taxes is just irrational. As Americans their tax dollars were being stolen from them for programs they couldn't participate in and going directly into the pockets of segregated white neighborhoods, white owned businesses, segregated white universities, etc. This theft of black American tax dollars was a boon to white Americans, they were literally getting extra money from millions of people. And this was when the white middle class as we know it was established, that money went to build segregated neighborhoods, pay for VETS to attend college, went directly to all kinds of white owned businesses. Black people were completely shut out of those opportunities. [/QUOTE]
