50 years after MLK’s iconic ‘Dream’ speech, many still awaiting racism’s retreat

Of course because when slavery ended, all the doors opened. You know, assimilation into main society. There were no lynchings and no segregation, it was a walk in the park, by your account. Because many black folks are treated like second class citizens in a country we were born in. We were born here, and couldn't even vote. So what's the comparison?

I know a large number of Immigrants who can't vote either... mean while they build their life.

IF you look at the achievement of many Blacks who immigrate here today ,,, many seem to do quite well.

The racists sure stick together on these boards. Gotta +1 each other, nobody else will!

I'm talking about the 50 years that have passed since they COULD vote. 50 years has more than burned off all available and possible excuses, except for one, that being personal failure of the community, for inability to join with and live by the basic rules of the rest of civilization.

i sure wish you would have the nuts to be explicit.

please explain what you mean by "personal failure of the community"
