And you would have to ask yourself...why is this? I'll tell you why. We, (African-Americans/ Black folk), were systematically denied
ACCESS to the basic pursuits of
(economic, educational, social, & judicial) equality. We were denied by white people....primarily by the white male 100% of time. For example, the 15th Amendment gave me the right to vote. Why do we need the Voting Rights Act of 1964? If we enforce the Voting Rights Act then that means that the 15th Amendment isn't worth the paper it's written on. Think about it!
Look at homogeneous races. They don't have this problem and if they do, the magnitude of its affect is minimal at best. Just think, if this country would have resolved its race issue at the start of the 20th century...can you imagine where we would be as a nation today? If that was the case, then this discussion (thread) would be about nepotism, etc.
