[Daniel-A27209]

As usual you have missed the point entirely. I am not saying all whites are at the same success level and that they are all in on this together. But in nearly every position of political, social and economic power is a white man who most likely got there through a connection rather than merit. I can’t get a loan, attend a university to study my own culture or even drive a car without the white man’s permission. Why do you think that white artists can make a much more substantial living in the black asthetic than the black’s who created and innovated it? Why are we more likely to die a violent death? Why are our communities festering with police, drugs, prostitution and churches of the same denomination as those who oppress us? Though I cannot control my environment, I can control how I react to it, and that seems the only power a black person has in this country. But I cannot respect myself at the end of the day after simply rolling with the punches. If we truly were equal, then 35 percent of our males wouldn’t be locked up right now, would they?
