Anyone looking for a schlorship?

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I am saying it's not surprising. If a race of people are oppressed for hundreds of years, they aren't just gonna collectively get over it when things finally start getting better. You're a smart guy so surely you understand that much about human psycology. Maybe your more into military terms, it's called "blowback". This discussion isn't about racism, it's about the collective psycology of a group who was oppressed for so long.

So how long does it take for a group of people to get over it? You have to remember that groups are made up of individuals, and although pack mentality can take over, if enough individuals stand up and say " What happened to my great grandparents/grandparents was horrible, there's no excuse, but I'm not going to continue living in that mindset when opportunities are available to me if I work hard and earn them." With 2 exceptions EVERYONE I hang out with is black. And none of them think they deserve anything more than anyone else because of their heritage or skin color. But they KNOW they deserve what they've earned. The human psychology argument works in theory, but I don't see how it works in application.
