"Thus, they believe they have legitimate grievances even if those grievances have been self administered."
The United States exhibited to the world egregious and unconstitutional policies toward blacks until at least 50 years ago, within memory of most here.
Blacks have legitimate grievances, as would you and I under similar circumstances. How were those grievances self-administered?

I've been hearing that same old tired B.S. like K. Brown posted above for longer than I care to remember. Typical Libtard excuses are along these lines: Blacks look different then Whites so that's why they can't make progress. The can't get jobs and earn a living so they protest and riot.
From Wikipedia: "Only since the 1940s when the US and China became allies during World War II, did the situation for Chinese Americans begin to improve, as restrictions on entry into the country, naturalization and mixed marriage were being lessened. In 1943, Chinese immigration to the U.S. was once again permitted — by way of the Magnuson Act — thereby repealing 61 years of official racial discrimination against the Chinese. Large-scale Chinese immigration did not occur until 1965 when the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965[4] lifted national origin quotas.[5] After World War II, anti-Asian prejudice began to decrease, and Chinese immigrants, along with other Asians (such as Japanese, Koreans, Indians and Vietnamese), have adapted and advanced. Currently, the Chinese constitute the largest ethnic group of Asian Americans (about 22%), and have confounded earlier expectations that they would form an indigestible mass in American society.[citation needed] For example, many Chinese Americans of American birth may know little or nothing about traditional Chinese culture, just as European Americans and African Americans may know little or nothing about the original cultures of their ancestors."
Well: Somebody need to tell this to the millions of Asians who are here and have managed to progress And for the most part it's been acconplished without government handouts and rioting.
To a great extent the "grievences" Blacks have and are self administered with the help of Libtards like Lyndon Johnson and his Great Society. Jim

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

Comrade King, The Statist Religious Sociopath in you just keeps on giving.
Yeah! That's why we should pay reparations to all blacks! Because Civil Liberties were violated a half century ago, we should extort freedom from others today and reward the descendants of the people of the past. We should also excuse them from criminally and sociopathically inflicting themselves on other citizens. People are not equal, We must reward the entitled victims.
King, Your sociopathic statist religious dogma is pathetically preposterous.

Ken and Jim: Asians are relative newcomers, many taking refuge during and after the Americans lost 55,000 men and women protecting colonialism in Vietnam. US blacks were the white man's beasts of burden, segregated without the vote, for more than 200 years.
It's a curse the country will bear, just as Vietnam's scar remains. Black lives improved at the point of federal bayonets enforcing their constitutional rights. Nothing was given to blacks willingly. Remember Washington, Detroit and Los Angeles burning? Were they terrorists or freedom fighters?
The US is the better for it.

The US is the better for it. If we're so post racial, why'd the prez send a racial activist to take charge in ferguson. Fifty percent of teen to mid thirties blacks die by murder, some ninety plus percent of those at the hands of other blacks. Isn't it a tad uncomfortable that you'd think we're the better for it.

No country anywhere will ever be post-racial, Craig. Laws against discrimination are the better for it even by being observed, change of heart notwithstanding. Renegade states were forced to follow the constitution. The result was in most part satisfactory for reasonable citizens. Electing a black president some 50 years after paratrooper bayonet charges in Mississippi will be one of the most significant moral victories of this century, a signpost for US majorities of colour within 20-25 years.

The US is the better for it. All completely irrelevant in the context of Individual Freedom and Equality. You cannot rationalize perpetration of a current infliction by a past infliction on others. That is merely a change of slave masters. It is also, in this case, the the dogma of the "Black Liberation" sub-cult of sociopathic religious statism. All groups have been oppressed at some time, it is your sociopathic dogma and cult creation that balkanizes groups into sociopathic victim cults that are entitled to other people's freedom. Your Statist/Marxist dogma is what is preventing America from becoming a truely "Free and Equal" society.

King, like natives here in Canada, large portions of the black community, despite being born less than 50 years ago, revel in the culture of victim hood. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and their ilk have cultivated it for most of my adult life and I'm 56. A rejection of the objective of the help offered, to join modern society as productive members, and instead, an insistence on an alternative cultural narrative that glorifies victim hood and encourages cultural norms and language that are destructive to human dignity.
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia
