Don't know if I would say tough. But like Chappelle said if I could quit being black today I would.

This. It's all relative, but some people have trouble acknowledging something as simple as this.

its also boom fact that as a black baby you are more likely to belong to a broken home, more likely to live in a terrible crime ridden neighborhood, and more likely to be sent to a below average school


Why to my fellow conservatives have to bury their heads in the sand to these facts? They are so afraid to admit blacks do have it harder as of right now in America.

Such an intelligent response. As long as it's better here than anywhere else, there can be no criticism?

You probably shouldn't whine about it. You can do things to fix it but I have a hard time whining about my own problems when I know people have it 1000x worse than me.

Spot on. I 100% disagree with the notion that it is the faults of any white people


You're going a bit too far here IMO. Do I believe there is some implicit, collective effort by whites to hold down blacks? No.

Do I think there is some natural tendency to prefer people who are similar to you in any way, race included? Yes, and considering the demographics and wealth distribution in this country, that gives whites an advantage.

It's not something that we've done wrong, nor does it require an apology, but acknowledging it shouldn't be as hard as some make it.

I'm Asian as stated previously. Can you imagine if an Asian comes out and say "being Asian in anerica is tough"? Not only no one would care but also, Asians themselves will say stfu. If you can't make it in America, you can't make it anywhere.

My point is the main reason life is harder on blacks in America is the likely culture that the black baby grows up in. Which is not my fault as a white male. And I do not feel guilt for it

However, I acknowledge it statiscally sets up a black child for a more difficult road

Asians in America are statiscally born in a stable home environment and a culture that breeds success. So yes, I would argue against that general statement
