And the Jim Crow attitude still exists in many places and people's minds despite the Act outlawing the laws so I can't say anything can be easier for the black race. So anything a society can do to try to facilitate such a downtrodden group of people by another should be accepted and encouraged, even if it adversely affects us personally at times, until we can say every single person is looked upon as equal based on their race. It's the least we can do for such an abuse of power for so long. |
The problem is I never had slaves and had nothing to do with it so I should not have to pay for it. There is no one around and alive who was a slave so no one should be treated differently now because of it.
