Why can't Black Americans just wake up?

This is something that's bothered me for years once it all made sense to me but was never really able to talk about it.

It's frustrating to me to constantly hear how "oppressed" a group of Americans say there are even in 2017. I've felt that way for a while but now I'm willing to concede and acknowledge that Black Americans are in fact one of the most oppressed and disparaged groups in the US (after the American Indians of course). However, the group perpetuating this oppression is a group that very few publicly blame.

The Democrats and the modern leftists are the ones to blame.

After slavery was ended, life for Black Americans wasn't that much better than it had been. All the way up to 1964 when segregation was ended, they finally had a chance to gain some traction and begin to heal and grow. However, LBJ and the Democrats had other plans. MLK was a hinderance and had to be taken out. Under the guise of Welfare programs and "The War on Poverty", the Democrats sought to decimate the black family and ultimately put them back into, for lack of a better word, slavery. I chuckle out of disgust every time I think of that famous Biden quote, "they want to put y'all back in chains". Every single member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton types have sold out the very people they pretend to represent.

So the oppression is apparent but let's be honest about who's responsible for it.
