What I would like to know is why we have to continue to pay for the fact that some white people owned slaves in the distant past? I never owned any slaves and my ancestors were too poor to own any so why should I pay for it? Black people need to get over it and take responsibility for their own lot in life because they have the same opportunity white people have to advance their position. I might even say they have more advantages then white people do to succeed in life because of the high level of political correctness in this country now. White people can't even use the race card even if it is deserved. Things will get much worse in this country before it gets better.
