Why do so many white people refuse to empathize with the psychological barrage that a black child will have to be exposed to here in the US even today?
2 me it doesn't make sense to make fun of black people. Or hate them. Or look down upon them.
Understand?

But then your post starts rambling about a totally different set of circumstances. I can't figure out which one you identify with.
I will say that I am not personally responsible for what someone in my family may or may not have done 100 + years ago.

When I go out in public and see what younger black people wear, let's just say that many of them look like thugs and speak "ghetto". How can anybody ever take you seriously if this is the type of person you are?

No. Circumventing the censors is actually worse than cursing.

What is it that you expect that is above and beyond the black men and women with whom I earn my money, eat my lunches and share communities?

Stop whining, you only hurt your own self. Not my words, but the words of black people who get sick of hearing this drivel.
your self pitying post disgusts me
Until we walk in another's shoes, literally, we cannot know how it feels to be in their skin. But we can strive to walk among those who are different from us - and to learn what it is to be where they walk.

Your reply made me smile.
I was pretty discouraged!
You have the same opportunities I do, but with a few extra governmental bennies to help you along. Go somewhere and do something, but don't do nothing and blame it on me, a white guy. That old record is worn out and nobody cares to listen to it anymore.
