Laughable! In all seriousness, how much opportunity and how many benefits do you have to lay at one specific group of people's feet, before they actually start to succeed and get somewhere. At what point do you just take a step back and realise it's not working.
I'm not gonna pretend that I know a lot about America, but from what little I know, what I've read, it seems to me that African Americans have a wealth of opportunity at their feet, far more than any other minority in the US. So much so, that I fail to understand how anyone is unable to get somewhere of reasonable standard in this day and age. All this would do is create more division between people, and I understand why it would. I might add, these issues have nothing to do with slavery -_- that's a very poor excuse.
As for disproportionate imprisonment, well gee, maybe if people stopped committing crimes perhaps?
America making a formal apology? This just proves what a weak man Sanders is, sheesh! Absolutely ridiculous, so should the UK, right now, apologise to various countries for colonialism, if they did what difference would it make anyway. History is full of bad things, people need to stop being so pathetic and just get on with it.
