re: Has the racial divide in our country broadened or lessened in the last decade?

Black people were not immigrants you dumb frick we were brought here and treated like animals.

"we"? I don't believe you, or your grandparents, or your parents endured slavery.

The Irish, Polish etc. were in ghettos and making livings, blacks were in the field as slaves being beat, tortured, lynched raped and striped of of their culture.

Slavery is abhorrent, but I'd argue that some slaves were treated extremely well by their owners. Not that it excuses slavery, but it is historical fact that a large amount of slaves fared better under slavery then released. Again, it is terrible, but at some point are we gonna fricking move past it? In 2015 it has absolutely nothing to do with the black community's struggles today.

White people will forever act as if there is no blood on their hands. They killed off the Native Americans and oppressed the black, but its a matter of personal responsibility as to why blacks are doing bad. Never mind the fact whites have made it their lives a living hell since they stepped foot in America.

I had nothing to do with either of those atrocities. Should I make my life worse and kiss your arse because of shite that happened that I had no control over? Are we supposed to give everything to you? What would make it right? However, these things have happened by all fricking races throughout all times. See the Mongols and the entire fricking sub-saharan African continent fighting each other so much they've failed to contribute anything to the modern world.
