[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4948140, member: 24302"] You seem to not recognize anything that has happened from the 60's until today. No one is claiming there wasn't racial injustice. But efforts were made to rectify those injustices. But at what point do you admit the playing field has been leveled and there are opportunities for blacks and many have taken those opportunities? That those who haven't and still blame the past for their ongoing issues aren't ever going to see the world they want? You say you don't blame whites then immediately talk about whites this and that. As for past taxes if blacks were doing so well that huge amounts of taxes were being taken from them then what was the problem? The fact is most blacks weren't doing well economically and their overall percentage of the population was such that relatively little of the government's revenue was coming from blacks. Whites by far provided the most in taxes to the government. To say black taxes did this or that for whites is an unbelievable stretch. But I will concede that the government at all levels did very little for the black population. Until the 60's. [/QUOTE]
