How does the hate compare with blacks not from this country?

And do you reject their right to hate you? Do you really think it's going to change?

James, again, I must reject the notion of assimilation for two reasons:

1. It should not be necessary that a group assimilate just to be treated fairly and equally, and this is true (or my opinion) regarding any country or society, this actually indicates even more that this country practices and relies that much more heavily on white skin privilege to establish what is and isn't acceptable.

2. Re: "If you look aht history of other immigrant groups coming into the states, they are hated for a generation or so and then they assimilate adopting the language, dress, and basic cultural patterns of the parent culture.

African american youth Culture, which seems to be a hodgpodge of stuff, hasn't successfully assimilated in language, dress, or basic patterns."

Black Americans have been "hated" in this country for much longer than a generation. I have to say that once again, too many people over simplify a tremndous social problem in this country as well as others that is specific to people with BLACK skin. This has been shown time and time again, over and throughout history. We ARE not regular immigrants to AMerica and never have been. So, comparing our "group" to other "groups" is not effective as we examine this problem.
