I know I'm always bitching about this...

Take for instance the native peoples, anyone who claims that the blacks had it harder than the natives is intellectually dishonest, but yet those people who suffered so miserably at the hands of oppression have taken responsibility for their own future, they have fought and won many battles since the decimation which was brought upon their ancestors, and much of it during the same period of time as the blacks were held as slaves.

Dude, the American Indians are mostly too drunk to complain. Or they're taking money from gambling institutions. Or, if they're lucky, they're drunk and collecting from their casinos.


I wouldn't hold American Indians up as a shining example of success.

ignorant and your stereotyping generalization shows me have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

I know what they have actually achieved.

When you're done defending your lame comparison example, you too can answer this:

How long - how many years or generations - do you feel is long enough for a race previously enslaved then widely discriminated against to become just as "successful" as their oppressors?

It's entirely up to those people how long it takes them, they can sit their asses on welfare,and deal drugs and be thugs for generations or they can actually do something of worth and shorten the time which it will take.

Society as a whole cannot speed up or slow down the process it's not our fault if they choose to remain oppressed.
