[QUOTE="ArrowHead:325997"]Yes it does, but assimilation into free culture seems to be harder for the african americans. While newer immigrants who came here freely have difficulty as well (haitian, cape verdean, Plutonians), they've been coming here for a few dozen years. Africans were forced here hundreds of years ago, and STILL don't seem to get it. (in the majority, not everyone is like this.) Rosa Parks took a big risk just so she could be assimilated, equal, and accepted. Now generations later, the people who benefit the most from her efforts have worked so hard to be different, isolated, and given special consideration and compensation. Conversation at my work with a workers African-american friend. "Yo, man, like black people can't even get jobs. Like, people still won't hire a brother like me, just because they're intimidated by the color of our skin" "ever thought it might be the fact that you show up for the interview with your underwear and ass hanging out of your pants, like they are now?" "Yo, you racist? You gonna treat me different because I dress black?" "No, I'm going to treat you different because no one who comes to a restaurant to eat food is going to want to look at your ass hanging out of your pants" "see? see what I mean? I can't help the color of my skin man..." There are rules, and there are exceptions, but I see FAR TOO MUCH of this in the world, especially the 4 years when I worked in Brockton. [/QUOTE]
