Any psychic damage which has been thrust upon the black race has not occurred for quite some
time: slavery...not in my lifetime nor separate bathrooms were in my lifetime. And I am not
about to feel sorry about what happened before my time. Economic damage is not the white
man's fault either. In this day anyone can do whatever he/she likes. The truth to the economic
matter is that many of the 'oppressed' races feel they now deserve a free ride. Absolutely no
physical damage has occurred in my lifetime. As for as cultural damage, cultures evolve, they...
