The root problem that plagues America is the unresolved, taboo legacy of the slavery of black people in America. This is the most dreaded and untalked about subject in this country. Many are of the opinion that because this took place hundreds of years ago, that this present generation of caucasian people are not responsible, nor should they be made to answer for the evils of their fathers. Well this explanation would suffice in most circles, but not in truths court.
Truth of the matter is, that this current generation of caucasian people in America enjoy a privileged position due to the imposed system of slavery of black people by their fore-fathers, most of whom were in positions of power in this country. Their ideal was to totally strip the black man and woman of all knowledge of themselves and produce a people that would forever be their servants to build and maintain a world of luxury and pleasure for them and their children. This is the legacy inherited by the present generation of caucasian people in this country.
To this present date there have been no meaningful discussions or solutions in Congress to redress the damage that was done then, nor the continued psychological maladies that many black people suffer from due to the horrors of the worst form of slavery in the annals of history. There are no plans in goverment for reparations to repair the mental, moral and psychological damage that was done yesteryear. Yet, even the Eskimoes recieve compensation for the injustice America did to them. Well, what about the black man and woman of America who built this country but still recieve the worst treatment of any people in America.
There will be those that will say that this is not the time to voice such concern, considering the economic conditions. Wrong again... Because of slavery and all it's many Jim Crow realities, there has never been a "We" in the economics of America for 40-50 million Black people in this country.
There are those that believe that whites of America have opened up every available opportunity for black people to share in the supposed "american-dream, this is simply not true. To this present date there has been nothing talked about, nor done to bring about meaningful redress for the generational ills that black people still suffer from due to the horrrors of slavery in this country. Therefore, to forked-tongue speak of inclusion is direct intellectual cowardice.
There will be no peace in this country, nor anywhere on this planet earth until there is a solution to the condition and position of 40-50 million black people in this country. Take it or, let it alone. Truth's court is in recess until pt. 6 Truth Inc. Be The Will Of God

just exactly how do you figure that?
majority of my family came from europe in the late 1800s early 1900s, and last i checked, the ones who got here earlier preferred to do their own work, not force it on someone else. my entire lineage is small family farmers and shop owners.
If white people benefited from slavery and Jim Crow, as you claim they did, then one would expect that the region of the country that institutionalized those practices would be the richest. Instead, it was the poorest and least developed and did not begin to experience economic growth comparable to that of the rest of the country until finally (and, admittedly, under Federal prodding) abandoning Jim Crow in the 1960s.
Any "reparations" due for slavery were paid in the blood of over 600,000 Americans who died during the Civil War.
