I was going to refrain from adding to this but I must put in my 13 cents. No one is calling any one the "big white devil", however the situation is what it is. Unfortunately due to the terrible institution of slavery and an attempt to maintain the status quo, blockades were set up to keep blacks in their place such as a residency requirements to vote. These subterfuges were in place 50 years ago and some are still in place now. The generation of people who fought to overcome these barriers are still alive today. The inability to progress at that time has of course affected the status of their family. I agree that everyone has hardships, no one is denying that, but no one can accurately deny that these events of the past still influence the present.
