My personal Opinion
what people fail to recognize is that the events of the past still have reprecussions to this day on peoples decendants.
Thats a pretty common claim, however the facts don't back it up.
Literally trillions of dollars have been spent on social programs in which blacks are the chief beneficiary, yet they still lag behind.
The biggest problem in the black community today is a lack of personal responsibility, and slavery had nothing to do with that.
And yes every race had it's difficulties and every race has been effected in some way by those difficulties.

o.k then which facts?
Trillions of dollars have been spent? huh most likely alot of the money probably goes to administration of the programs (secretaries, case managers etc) since after all it is a social program.
Well lack of personal responsibility spans every race lol but slavery did have an effect on every generation since.
Really? Does slavery make blacks commit more violent crimes than any other race per capita?
Did slavery make black fathers leave once they found out they impregnated someone? 70% of black children of born into a single parent home.
Did slavery make black kids drop out of school at record rates?
No.

per capita eh so not all that much money is flowing in actuality due to them being only 17% of the population.
Butg you also have to recognize that violent crime done by caucasians is often unreported or nothing is done about it.
70% eh well a link to the study where your numbers came from would be nice,

It just annoys me that the fact that some of you people have the nerve to talk about racism this way when you have not been on the receiving end of it.

How ignorant is it of you to assume we havent been subjected to racism?
Unless of course you are one of those who thinks only whites can be racist.....

Been there, done that.
Ever happen to think that if Muslims stopped causing problems all over the planet, people wouldn't feel that way?
