In any case, the legacy of slavery, and then of segregation, and then of entrenched institutionalized discrimination against black Americans is very much ongoing and alive, though it's often understandably difficult for people outside of the US to fully understand and appreciate the significance of it.
We ll, to the second question, sure, frequently. But then I lived near them, more or less with them. I've not seen anyone do much good at busstops.Dan~ wrote:Have you ever seen a black organization do any form of charity to non-blacks?
Also have you seen any first nations do anything positive? Like really.

He's actually an American, from Chicago if Im not mistaken.
Anyway Im sure you have your own experiences of being black and discriminated. Of course Kanye has money which makes it easier than it would be for you. Still I understand many blacks relate to Kanye just as I relate to him, as the great post-racist artist that he is.

I don't really like what you wrote. I think unity and virtue are more important than beliefs, especially those.

Bush could have sent out disaster relief within 24 hours which could have been on standby with trucks and rescue boats in the state north of Louisiana traveling down with food, water, and basic medicine once the storm itself passed. Ever heard of rescue supply drops? No good reason those weren't made immediately after the storm passed. The people of New Orleans had every reason to be upset with the government.
