This is a big world. There are lots of countries in the world.
American slavery has been gone for a long time, about 150 years.
It only takes two generations to learn not to live like an animal.
I am talking about Blacks in America and I was not asking about how long until you don't have to live like an animal. I was asking about how long do you think it should take the stereotypical Black and poor community to be as successful as the successful White communities. As I've explained, the wholesale discrimination that took place AFTER slavery up until and (in many areas) well past civil rights legislation is more relevant than you repeating when slavery ended. Stop pretending not to see validity in the points of others.
How do you measure success? Low crime rate? Education? Money?
Many people from different countries were discriminated against. Ask the Menonites. They just did their own thing. Why are black people any different? Black men got to vote in 1870. Women in 1920. Should all women be ghetto?
Your entire premise is flawed. You are asking a bad question. You need to ask WHY they continue to be violent and lazy when they have had freedom for over a hundred years. Northern blacks were free by 1810. Is that long enough?
