Give me a fucking break. Blacks are not owed a damn thing. You know the difference between a white persons skin and a black persons? One descended from people living out in the open in the sun with very little clothing (warm climate), and the other descended from people living in caves. People in caves wore more clothes (cold climate) so they did not need the skin pigment to protect them from the sun, so they had lighter skin. Same as when you find fish and shit at the bottom of the ocean where there is no light. They are white/clear. Because they do not need the protection from the UV Rays and such.
Yeah, it sucks that their ancestors were slaves but that's how the world worked back then (that is not how it is now in the U.S.). Should all whites that came from Europe be furious and ask for restitution because they descended from working slaves to the various Monarchies in the medieval times?
Many blacks create their own racism by acting the way they do now. They are purposefully trying to segregate themselves because they are too stupid to realize what they are doing. Asking for 'black only safe spaces and shit like that' is perpetuating racism by their own hands. They are wanting to be segregated from everyone else, which is exactly what MLK and many others fought against.
Many people want this 'segregation' because when you have people separate themselves they become more vulnerable and easier to control. So they push stupid bullshit in the media to rile people up, to keep them going and get them to victimize themselves and separate themselves into a smaller more manageable group.
It is however rather convenient though, when they are playing the slave/race card, that they leave out the part where many of their ancestors were already slaves to other African tribes and were sold as slaves to people coming to sell them in the U.S. and other places.

But you can't deny that his skin color allows him certain 'accommodations' that someone of a different skin color would not get.
