But since most Americans don't really want true social justice when it comes to ethnicity and would never vote for policies to correct social ills, we are stuck with the second best thing which is AA.
I'm sorry, this has been a typical attitude that has appeared on these forums from some members and I vehemently disagree blaming everything on racism.
Every single culture has been subject to racism and slavery, some to different degrees. Admittedly, blacks fall into one of the worse categories.
But fundamentally, cultural reflection has been internal. I mean, Barack Obama has been elected as president by what most considered to be a landslide.
If he can be a PRESIDENT by a democratic vote, that means there is limited--though not inexistent--external hinderance. It means it can be overcome. It means more people should listen to Bill Cosby and less to Al Sharpton.
Okay I'm done.
