So did several in my family. Big difference is that my great grandfather leaned to speak with a 'proper' accent, went to a new town and pretended to be an Anglican. Not everyone has the ability to fake it (and judging by comments in other race threads, some disadvantages still apply to minorities).
Blacks only graduation at U of T...WTF!

According to this, America's blacks have no one to blame but themselves for the situation that too much of black America finds itself in.

End there. You have no concept of what refugees and immigrants go through, just like you have no clue about how aboriginals process their situation. To pretend otherwise is just your own bias. It does not really matter what you and I think anyways. What matter is how the people around them treat them. It used to be that the refugees were treated differently than Aboriginals. Aboriginals have always had enablers who play up on the victim mentality while exploiting them. Immigrants and refugees are now being enabled the same way.
THEIR answer is right there in the article.
It is their contention that the rise of the welfare state, starting from the Liberal Prez Johnson, has directly lead to the swift decline of the traditional family unit in black America. Their research into the USA government statistics bear this conclusion.
The basic retort to all other suggestions by Liberal media, or ivory tower Liberals is ... wait for it ... RACISM!!!
Since we are talking about black families decline, and the welfare state, the welfare state has to be racist too. Q.E.D.
It is like the social assistance client is saying - "Welfare is racist, now give me my check".
:sad:
You keep holding yourself out as an expert on immigrants but you're not, you know nothing about it as evidenced by your inability to back up anything you say with facts.
Immigrants and refugees indeed have faced hardships, at least SOME, but nothing like the cultural genocide perpetrated on the black and native communities.
I don't believe you and I don't in any way respect you claim to know anything about this topic.
Each person's experience is limited to his or her lifetime from birth to death. Centuries of slavery mean absolutely nothing. Blacks don't have a "cumulative psyche" tarnished by slavery or some shit like that.
Every human is a clean slate. Raise a black kid with values and a winning mentality and he will go far. The problem is public schools teach black kids they were slaves in their first history class, and 2 or 3 slave movies come out every year, poor blacks have no personal responsibility and blame the white man, and lefties tell blacks they are victims their whole lives.
A black person can be anything s/he wants in this day and age. There are so many successful black doctors, lawyers, athletes, musicians, etc.

To be sure all other visible minority groups and even
some not so visible ethnic groups like the Italian immigrants
suffered discrimination from the mainstream white people
like the black people did. What marks out the hurdles faced
by the black people is that unlike other immigrants the
cultural heritage of the black people was pretty much
destroyed by slavery. The damage is not likely to be undone
in the foreseeable future.

End there. Your assumption is wrong. I do not pretend I am expert on immigrants and refugees. Most of my statements are not absolute.
You on the other hand pretend to know the generations of horrendous pain and suffering that aboriginals and blacks have suffered and how they collectively process their troubles such that they cannot overcome it. That my friend is a complete load of manure
Very good post,...!!!
One only has to go to some of the Caribbean islands to experience the attitude directed at me for something I, my parents, etc.,...had absolutely nothing to do with,...just because I'm white.
And that,... is racism.
Holding on to that,...only hampers their life,...does not enhance it,...and enables excuses for everything,...unless some one thinks hate is a good frame of mind to live with,...
That is very true.
Shit .... I was robbed by Jamaican police, LOL. Think that had anything to do with 2 white girls in a car driving the highway?????
I'm all for initiatives that move the proverbial 8 ball closer to the centre. But, the problem is how to define "black?" No...am not going back to some primordial one drop rule. But, lines of race aren't so clear. Self-definition? I dunno. Maybe connecting with African or Caribbean lineage would make more sense...
I am what Lincoln Alexander would think of this and of the lady in Scarborough causing the fuss over the car

I was once told by a black taxi driver to go back to where I came from (I am third generation Canadian). And this after he cut me off, the nerve. I was just worried he might pull a gun on me, lol.
To clarify, I was not trying to equate the black or aboriginal suffering from 50 or 200 years ago to the immigrant experience.
Here is what I said "but the proof is there in refugees and immigrants who have experienced the same or worse than our aboriginals". I should have added "today" or "over the past few years".
Oil&gas, how many generations before black and aboriginals are able to end their suffering?
You can't separate the past from the black or native experience. In addition to facing more prejudice than what most immigrants face, blacks and natives face it in the context of families and communities that have been damaged and poisoned by that history.
You want to dismiss the ongoing impact of the past but you can't. It does not reset with each generation, it persists in a chain of violence and abuse.
I also think likely only Muslim immigrants face the same level of prejudice. I don't see and never did see Chinese or Latino immigrants being aggressively targeted by the police.
It resets with every black child birth and it is up to the strong parents to fight the black culture and leftie culture that will try to re-enslave the child
And this has been proven over and over again to be true,...contrary to those who like excuses,...and a certain racist here.
