legal slavery ended in this country in 1865...
after that, wage slavery in various forms and degrees was practiced all over this country until the rise of the labor union movement around the turn of the century.
it is now 2014. anyone who uses the circumstances of their ancestors as an excuse for their own failings is delusional.
ones race or ethnic heritage can be an impedment to one reaching ones goals, if one allows it to be so.
being black limits some, who do not have the guts and talent to overcome this handicap.
look no further than clarence thomas, conde rice, ben carson, allen west, a host of performers and of course barock obama, to name a few...
