Equality of opportunity yes. Equal outcomes...No way ! That is up to the individual to achieve. Not up to government or society to provide.

I agree with boco on something! Although I have met one white woman. She was a vegetarian, and has basically no skin color unless she got some sun. White as a sheet. Other than that, we are all shades of pink, beige, brown, red and so on.

Blacks have equality under the law. They are pushing for special privileges same as the elderly, handicapped, etc have. Regardless of how much they are given, it will never be enough. The main stream media has a lot of impressionable young people agreeing with them.

According to Rev. James David Manning, a black preacher:
70% of black men desert their children.
70% of black man don't marry the mother of the children they have fathered.
There are 1.2 million black men in prison in America.
50% of the crime committed in the US are committed by black people. Yet, they only make up 17% of the total population.

Rev. Manning says black people are destroying themselves by these violent actions. They just aren't smart enough to realize it.

Anybody ever played Marco Polo,with Marco Polo?

That's what I meant, yes. I agree with you.

I believe that reparations are in order.

Lots of people owned slaves. Slaves; weren't cheap. When the government decided to separate them without compensation, those people were harmed.

Reparations are in order.

"The use of slave and forced labour in Nazi Germany and throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II took place on an unprecedented scale.[2] It was a vital part of the German economic exploitation of conquered territories. It also contributed to the mass extermination of populations in occupied Europe. The Germans abducted approximately 12 million people from almost twenty European countries; about two thirds came from Central Europe and Eastern Europe.[1] Many workers died as a result of their living conditions – extreme mistreatment, severe malnutrition, and worse tortures were the main causes of death."

Looks like brutal white slavery was alive and well in Europe in the 1930's and 40's

What do you guys think happened to many of the freed slaves that the Union (Lincoln) just threw out there to fend for themselves? It wasn't pretty. At least the Northern States had gradual transitions from slavery to freedom, so that masses of the slaves would not die.

That’s also why a lot of slaves stayed and helped rebuild the plantations they were once slaves on. Not all “masters” were evil men. To this day, they are the most loyal and honest folks I’ve ever met. I’ve even heard that in some bills of sale, that certain people must stay on the land and kept on with a job, even to this day. It’s all some of these men know. Most have raised families there, but very few of their children have stayed. And most owners have provided “assistance” with their children’s education...everything from Doctors to military pilots.
We recently “heard” that ANTIFA/BLM was going to come through the South to “burn down” plantations. The first to volunteer as guard or security were all the old black men, although everyone took part for a week or so until it was determined it was all talk.
