lol, you dont understand man... there are always going to be poor people and rich people, we can't make EVERYBODY rich, and thats not the purpose of organizations such as the NAACP. The purpose is to fix the huuuuuge gap in education and wealth
between whites and blacks... YES, the percentages. nobody thinks everybody should be rich; the PERCENTAGE of blacks to whites living in poverty should just be a whoooooole lot closer. thats the point.

Simply put enough, by not being a minority it seems that blame is placed on us for more problems than we cause.

that is an irrelevant argument... you have to look at what happened on such of a large scale in the US and caused the economic situation that we're in, and thats the slavery of blacks in the United States. the fact that "whites have been slaves before" is completely irrelevant because it obviously didnt have any effect on our society.
