Tom,

You can't use my last name to make an appeal to me about this. I am Greek AND Black. And you know what? My Greek grandparents disowned by father for marrying my mother. Don't even bother going there with me.

Who is to blame? Watch the documentary the 13th and you'll find out who's to blame. I know my history. I don't think you finished the article, because I address your points about what black people want, and it's not handouts. It's white people opening up their eyes and learning what the real causes and solutions to these problems are. Not the invented ones that make them feel good or apathetic.

As for the point you're trying to make about slaves in Africa, there is no comparison to what was happening there before Europeans came along. Here's a video. I don't expect you to watch it, because you clearly think you're on to something here, but maybe someone else will: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NXC4Q_4JVg
