Nah yo it's 2014. I agree that we shouldn't ignore it, but there has to be a point where slavery and what it did isn't brought up every time a black person does something out of line. Killing each other over shoes and stupid things, but slavery's impact still finds a way to be brought up.
Be honest dawg, there are some who use slavery so they never have to own up to their own dumb actions and so they can keep doing it. And the fact is, there are other people allowing them to do it, some even cheer them on for it. The shyt our people went through in the past should be used as fuel to bring us together and put us ahead, not as something used as a means to justify stupid shyt,
