so who gave US the hand up, hmm? who gave US these charter schools, help at jobs and positions,etc ? why is anything on US to help them? They've been free for a 160 effing years, man. To this day, how many of them went to the mining towns, or homesteaded? Most of them are scared to leave their ghettos. Without their homies, they are NOTHING. Did any of the freed blacks do the Kit carson, danl boone, John coulter thing? Why not, hmm?
