    Millions come here from all races all over the world, many with not much more than the clothes on their backs, most end up making a decent living in the US.

    Hell, even foreign born black immigrants do considerably better than their US born counterparts. Marriage rates are higher, home ownership is higher, income is higher

    It's a cultural issue that needs to be addressed internally within the black communities, not Whitey keeping them down.

    A leg-up? Sometimes. I'm; a firm believer in educational and developmental assistance. Anything that help achieve an adult to self-regulate, read/write/listen and think properly is money well spent.

    Reparations? I think this sets a bad precedent. What about the post-war Vietnamese wave that hit the US with psychological trauma. Won't they want some money too? Where does it end?
