Slavery and then Segregation went on for 200 years but I suppose a wrong that lasted that long should be overcome in 30-40 years. Things take time and if you think its getting worse and not better then you really have no idea whats going on in the real world.

That's bullshite , a good bit of black children have a huge disadvantage , when you grow up around the shite they do , poverty , drugs , crime and below par school systems how can anyone expect them to succeed .....

I wonder if I grew up in that environment would I be strong enough to see through the crap and be able to stay on a straight path to better myself , idk it's asking a lot from these kids that see life a certain way .....
And to the ones that make the right decisions and go on to better themselves congrats , you are a very strong and special person .....

now there are a lot of AA families that are great members of society , don't get me wrong .....
