I can not understand why "Blacks" need specific treatment for "Blacks". Are "Blacks" so different from everyone else? Do "Blacks" want different things than everyone else? Why, as you, sir, do here, can "Blacks" speak about what "Whites" think, but "Whites" can't speak about what "Blacks" think? Why do "Blacks" keep looking to the politicians to give them whatever it is that they want, when the problems of "Blacks" is right there in front of them? Why do "Blacks" keep voting Democrat, living the "Black" life and complaining that nothing changes when they keep doing the same things? Lastly, why does the "Black" community refer to "Blacks", who succeed without living the "Black" life, as "Uncle Toms"? Thomas Sowell, Candace Owens, Ben Carson, Condaleeza Rice, Glenn Loury, Ian Rowe, Robert Woodson, et al.? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnrMqnx7rrqrq5o
