Blacks in a White culture

Poor, ignorant people are often violent social misfits regardless of color

There are many reasons for the black's problem. The stigma of slavery is still an issue in their mind and I have no idea how they can overcome it except by success.

Their success is limited by the fact that they are forced to operate in a system that is designed and driven by the white race. They have some basic difficulty excelling in certain traditional disciplines that are key to getting ahead in our culture. This difficulty may or may not be genetic but it is not lack of intelligence. . Blacks have excelled in some areas that are considered intellectual domains such as chess and computer science yet they fail in life due to apparent inability or unwillingness to excel in verbal skills. This typical shortcoming can result in stereotyping in the same way that a strong southern accent can stereotype a white person in the North. In the case of blacks, most rejection is blamed on racism.

Up to now, political correctness has prevented any discussion of the problem to find solutions. Until we forget about multi-culturalism and start addressing the real problems we will always have perceived racism.
