Have you ever had to ride in the back of a bus? Piss in a colored's only bathroom? Get called nigger and thief by the people around you? Been given shit farm jobs and low paying jobs while watching the white people excel? People can not begin to understand the impact that slavery and racial inequality has played on our society. How can blacks and other minorities succeed at the same rate when the playing field has been so uneven for so long? If you fail to see the lasting impact then it is no wonder why you fail to see the need for a program such as AA. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get help!
