I have a question to ask. Does a particular race of people, as Black Americans who are descendents of slaves, for example brings up our children to be as we are?
Now, if we are on the bottom of the other races, then do you suppose we inherently brings up our children to be on the bottom, as well.
In other words, take White America for example. White America is the people that the rest of the world looks up to. Therefore, do you think that White America raised their children to desire that the world look up to them as well?
Now, if my premise makes sense and is the present reality, then what it is that Black Americans are doing wrong?

Hello Mr. C. Maxwell,
You said this, “I don't think its true to say that "White America is the people the rest of the world looks up to," especially over the last 9 years.”
Well, White America is over 200 years old and not nine years old. White America is respected and feared from the Mexican-American war to the war in Iraq. White America has landed the first man on the moon. White America is a super power and the rest of the world acknowledges this fact.
I am mentioning these significant accomplishments to give you an idea of what I meant when I said that the rest of the world looks up to White America, for the most part. White America acquired this prestige with great costs and sacrifices, of themselves.
The basis I use to say that Black America is on the bottom is to start from Mr. Frederick Douglass through Dr. King fight for Civil Rights to presently Rev. Al Sharpton’s fight for equal justice.
In other words, White America toils with the natural obstacles of nature as a sovereign people and nation while Black Americans toils with the obstacles White America hurdles at Black Americans.
Now, imagine if Black Americans were a sovereign people on a portion of this continent that we could call our very own country with open borders, and then we too could brave the natural obstacles that nature hurls at a sovereign country and people to stay successful. We would not be as great as White America, presently speaking, but we certainly would not be on the bottom anymore.
Am I right or am I wrong?
