The thing is, slavery didn't happen 2000 years ago. The Emancipation Proclamation was signed about 140 years ago. MLK was shot less than 40 years ago. I'm not sure how some people think we can just move on from such things so fast. It's true that some black people take advantage of this and "blame whitey" for all their problems as an excuse, but at the same time you can't just pretend slavery and racism never happened and that we can just go about our merry ways. These things happened and they still affect how things are today.
