Now lyle you can choose to deny that there are psychological and physical damages from something as wicked and despicable as slavery and not only slavery ---- because you will choose to focus on that one particular point but also the lasting effects of it and even after slavery was abolished blacks were treated like absolute dog shit for another 100 years ----Now you can deny this all you want. please keep continuing to deny it. it doesn't make you look very good.
Since it wasn't your ass out there getting whipped working for free on a plantation for 400 years it's really easy for you to say that they should have gotten over this by now isn't it.
How many generations do you think it will take after slavery was abolished in order for the freed slaves to even begin to remotely try to get their heads around how to make themselves into first class educated well mannered and well spoken people. Do you seriously think one or two generations is sufficient to recover from an absolute total lack of education, complete lack of self esteem and self respect and inability to know how to advance in a society and to work together suddenly with white people who have been whipping your ass for 400 years and bad habits and strange expectations based on having been a slave.?
