Just wanted to know in order to understand where you're coming from. Many times blacks will vehemently defend certain things because they are the same race as those being "oppressed" and nothing will change their mind. The reasoning for whites defending those same things can be varied.

Regardless of whether you are black or white, and regardless of your bumper sticker last sentence, you cannot and will not explain the blatant discrepancies between the facts and your position.

-Why do non african american blacks around the world underachieve in the same scholastic and economic areas that african american blacks do, if it was american history that is holding those african americans back?

-Why have the gangs and crime in black neighborhoods gotten worse since the "barriers" have been lifted if in fact it is those barriers that were the cause?

-Why is black excellence in sports because of talent, while white excellence in school and business has to be because of white privilege? Both areas had barriers, and both seek out the best candidates to help them succeed, yet blacks have dominated one.
