Cynique Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 There has been an undercurrent from the past about what happened way back when to the thriving black community in Oklahoma and how cruelly and inhumane the Native Americans in this territory were dealt with by the U.S. Government, - voices murmuring that the swath of tornadoes that just recently devastated this state are the ghosts of revenge. But revenge is a double-edged sword and black people are still struggling with the ghosts of white southern resentment against the emancipation of the slaves whose present day descendants are mired in the residue of slavery that oozes with irresponsible low-life behavior.

Troy Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Harry it is simple, Black people had no choice but to depend upon each other back then. The law prevented Black people from enjoying some very basic rights. We banned together because we HAD to. Today this same is true, but people simply don't recognize it. Sure the laws have changed, but the relative situation and outcomes have not. Look at Black incarceration rates, employment rate in the best jobs, how poorly our children are being educated, etc. I think ultimately we will come to the conclusion that we have to support each other because no one, least of all the government, will.
