. I think that white people, who by the way, never had anything to do with slavery or abuses to blacks, have done more as a social entity to show remorse for the institution than blacks have accepted as sincere.

ok white people had nothing to do with slavery or abuses to blacks??
so 38 years is enough to wipe out 100s of years of slavery. I Admit yes alot of white are remorseful and as well they should be but 38 years is no where near enough time to heal those wounds.While we are going through this process of healing alot of stuff will come out and in the end we will heal as a people but right now you cannot say " hey we done enough get over it"

That is my entire point in a nutshell. I don't believe that it will ever be enough, because social reactions, and people like Pastor Wright and Meeks seem determined to make sure that blacks won't want it to ever be enough. To leave pain behind does not mean forget it. It just means that there is no choice but to get past it, and make the future better.

Like i said its a healing period and people will react and say things that you dont want to hear, but remember your people was not enslaved nor do you suffer from the ills of what we as blacks go through. There is a lot of anger but soon the more we talk the less the anger will be you as white people must listen if you get angry then we get more angry and on and on... but listen see what your people has done a person cannot stay mad at someone who seeks forgivness and you should be seeking forgiveness for what your ancesters have done. Till this day AMERICA has never apologised for slavery ask yourself why?
