Troy Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I think people simply got caught up in doing what they can for themselves. It seems to me that this country is best suited for individuals who do what is best for themselves. The benefit of others is only considered to the extent that it directly benefits oneself. These people, usually our most successful, are not interested in advancing anyone other than themselves. Working for the betterment of a group -- even Black people -- is out of the question. We live in a world where ministers who make enough money to own a private jet off the back of people living pay check to pay check (if they are lucky), are held in high esteem. I understand why people behave so selfishly; again, this is the way it works in America. She is optimized for individuals who acquire wealth at the expense of others. People (all people) will need to feel a lot more pain before they do anything about it. They will also need to understand that it is not a Black vs white fight. A Black president should have made that abundantly clear. But instead we mistakenly see this as progress... Keep complaining Harry perhaps enough people will understand and do something. I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
