| Hahahaha The only thing holding black people down at this point is black people. They fall for every thing that is put in front of them. First it was christianity that helped keep them subserviant and mentally enslaved. Then after they fought and worked so hard to get civil rights, the CIA injected drugs into the black community, and they fell for that. Then hip hop, a form of art used to uplift people and expand consciousness was usurped by the gangsterism that pervades young black culture today, and the rest is history. Reperations? For what? No one who is alive today did any of the work that you are talking about? Anyone can go to public school, work hard, do well, and get a scholarship to college, especially if they are a minority. To me , that levels the playing field totally. Once someone has worked hard, worked smart, has been ambitious ,has strived and sacrificed and still can't be succesful because of their ethnicity, that would be wrong, but that isn't the case. In America, anyone who is smart and willing to work hard WILL be succesful, regardless of race. But until you have done everything in your power to work hard and be succesfull, then you have no right to complain. The only thing holding the black community down is a lack of ambition, ingenuity, and work ethic and a lack of emphasis on education. Affirmative action and reperations will only have one affect. The black people who are already thriving due to working hard will continue to thrive, and the black people who would rather sit in the ghetto and do nothing than work and succeed will continue to do nothing, and will squander whatever reperations are given on rims for their whips and big screen tvs. |
