    Your poll means about as much as a Telia's first 11 paternity test. Nothing.

    Apparently you're not a man that is able to take care of himself. No one owes you a damn thing. If you don't eat, that's your fault. If you don't have a place to live, that's your fault. If you can't get/keep a job, that's your fault. If you can't provide other necessities of life to yourself, that's your fault.

    I'm not responsible for freeloaders that refuse to do even the basics for themselves.

    There are obviously still black communities across this country but we are far more diverse today racially and ethnically than 70 years ago. Hispanics are the largest minority group and Asians and Indians the fastest growing immigrant group. The conditions that existed back when aren't the same today to allow what my friend wants to have happen happen.
    There isn't a single black family in my neighborhood.

    I'd say he achieved his goal, well half of it, anyway. Blacks have proven they are equal (sometimes better) and can be very successful in all fields (and not just on them).
    When a poor little black girl can work at it and become the richest woman in the US and most other countries as well, I'd say there's equal opportunity now.
    I'd say Paul Robeson had proved himself superior to almost anyone anywhere long before that!
