[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ Nobody is going to give you a dime. Even if they did, nothing would change and you would still have a million excuses. Maybe you could learn something from immigrants who came from far more challenging circumstances.[/quote]

Far more challenging?  I'm reading a book called "White Rage" by Carol Anderson, a professor at Emory.  She tells a story of a black man who worked for a brutal plantation owner in the 1920s in Valdosta, GA.  He beat the men who worked for him.  One day, a man fought back and killed him.  In retaliation, the white people lynched 20 random black people.  Including a man and his wife.  The wife was 8 months pregnant.  Her name was Mary Tyler.  They tied her up and burned her while she was alive.  They cut the baby from her and then when it fell to the ground, it cried.  A white man talked over and stomped its head.

None of the white mob got tried or went to jail.  Learn some history before you come on her talking about circumstances.  You don't know sh!t.

Whether you like it not, black people built this country for free.  Did immigrants do that?  You clearly don't know your history and sound ignorant.  It's sad really.[/quote]

This is the deep fear of white racists. They fear the chickens will come home to roost. That’s a terrifying story, and white people fear that in another generation or two, the rope will swing for them.[/quote]
I think black people are scared white people will do that stuff again.  I don't think you are wrong to fear it.[/quote]
