Social Lounger posters and most important brothers and sisters how do you feel about this and how does it make you feel.........

It took the black man and woman 349 years to have full rights and to be free (wink wink) in the UNITED STATES

It's a mess that is going on, we play more than enough team sports so our mind should be as a whole a team. We all have different talents and should use them to the best of our abilities and help create something for ourselves. If the world is going in the technological route than thats where our hearts need to be at.

Well...I don't think too many people believed Emancipation ended all of Black people's problems. Even today we are considered second class citizens in some respects, so the free for 44 years thing isn't wholly true. We have a measure of fairness today, but little equality. Looking at it from that perspective, we still have a lot to do. Progress is indeed a slow process.

JIM CROW LAWS - 1877-1968 = JIM CROW LAWS

i think this means the thread title should be "the so-called negro of the states under Jim Crow laws..."

We have more resources at our disposal than ever before in American history.

The youth needs to be exposed to fields such as science, math, and technology at an early age to ensure productivity when theyre older.

Plan for the future, prepare for the present, and dont dwell the past. People like MLK and many others gave their lives for the opportunities that are now available.

The history of Blacks in America is a quintessential American story of overcoming hardships and difficult circumstances. The second term President is Black, the First Lady is Black...you say Blacks have only been free for 44 years, but I say we've made amazing strides in the past 44 years. Holding grudges or racial biases over a time in history is negative and unproductive, you cant change the past.

History is important. Its important so we can learn from the mistakes that have been made. Its Important so we know the foundation of what has formed the present. Saying things like dwelling on the past gives the impression that certain selected points in history are unimporatant or irrelevant. All history is important regardless of personal feelings on any given subject. How can you say "dont dwell on the past" and then bring MLK up not even a sentence apart. MLK Dedicated his life to being positive and uniting and uplifting African Americans as well as appealing to other races to be non-violent and non-discriminatory . He did not give his life, it was taken.

I agree with the resources that we have our youth should take full advantage of the vast opportunities, but unfortunately due to practices that still inhibit minorities to basic education and technology African Americans are still not on an even playing field with whites in modern society. To understand why we must look to history and evaluate the historical treatment of African Americans in the United States.

The second term President is indeed black, but please do not confuse his heritage with that of the typical African American. Most African Americans are offspring of former slaves here in the States. Most African Amercans are not raised by white parents. Most African Americans will not have the opportunities that befell upon our current President.

Turning a blind eye to what has happened and what is currently happening is not only irresponsible it is dangerous. Saying someone is holding a grudge because they choose to recount actual events and compare them to current events is proposterous and absurd. Productivity comes from moving forward after your mistakes have been acknowledged and corrected. Ignoring the mistakes only hinders progress for everyone for the past will never be forgotten.

Racial bias is not an easy subject to simply deisregard. The severity of what has happened not only in this nation but globally has resulted in catostrophic ways of thinking. We have on a global scale a standard of beauty that sets dark colored people at the bottom. On numerous occasions dark colored people are portrayed as inferior to their lighter counter-parts. To simply think that ignoring these nuances and acting as if they dont exist only perpetuates the divisive nature of the propaganda.

Its lazy thinking that says the problem will clear itself up.

Negoes in America STILL ain't free. the OP is in a state of delusion of inclusion. We all still just plantation slaves until we all decide to seek the Most High and either leave this motherfucker of totally take it over in terms of status, respect and leadership.

 

[Krazy Kicks]

the USA started in 1776. just sayin

slaves were brought to jamestown, the first permenant english settlement in the americas in 1619.(this is what op is reffering to) they were first introduced in the colony as indentured servants who after 7 years of work for a colonist who funded their trip from africa they would be free citizens. but the costs became too high, and in 1619 the first slaves were brought to jamestown.

however, slaves were first brought to the americas in 1526 as part of the san miguel de gualdape colony in present day south carolina. but when the colonies founder died their was a fight for leadership, the slaves revolted and fled.

You still didn't answer the question. What's your point? Yes, blacks were not "free" in the sense of being full citizens with all the rights guaranteed to a citizen until ~50 years ago. But that doesn't apply to pretty much anyone who will read the thread, and even so, I don't think anyone was under the illusion that discrimination against blacks ended with the signing of the Proclamation Emancipation.

You've essentially made a topic to tell everyone that water is wet.
