You're completely disconnected from reality. The black man has had every opportunity as everyone else yet they don't take advantage of it. I'm white and all my Grandparents including my dad picked cotton in the southern part of this state. We were not dirt poor but damn near. EVERYONE of my Grandparents kids managed to pull themselves out of picking cotton and made substantial improvements to their lives which helped their offspring. I was born in a clinic for poor people in Charleston, MO. It was knocked down years ago. Thanks to my parents working their butts off all of my siblings were able to achieve the American dream. We had it better than our parents and subsequently my children have had it a whole LOT better than I ever did. I even ran for city office and got elected three times. I always thought my poor Grandparents would've got a kick out of that. I'm proud to come from a long line of poor sharecroppers. I remember being young and there was a commercial on tv that was for the United Negro College and they always said a black mind is a terrible thing to waste. Being a young white man I thought it must be ok for a white mind to waste because we had no free college and my parents sure as hell could not afford it. So I went to the school of hard knocks and never looked back. I had several people in my family that served in the north during the civil war including some who were killed and taken POW. Where is my fucking thank you from the black people. NO WHERE!!!! Your delusional feelings about the oppressed black man is a bunch of shit. YOU GET OUT OF LIFE WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT!!
