There are all sorts of injustices in the past. Slavery is different in that it was enshrined in the Constitution while at the same time it was at odds with the Bill of Rights. Latinos and homosexuals may suffer discrimination, but we were never shackled and deprived of our freedom to leave.
Behind compared to whom? Is there another reason for this besides using slavery as a scapegoat? One only need look at Africa and its history and culture to see how the continent has developed. Africa has been exploited by whites, but also exploited by its own people.
The constitution has always been a source of contention regarding what it says and how things get administered. It is a buffer only to protect those that can use and manipulate it for their own self-serving means. It is man-made, so therefore very flawed and disingenuous.
Homosexuality operates on a different sphere, as that is a subtext within all races and creeds. It still operates as a subterfuge and does come wrapped up in a human rights package, due to others sense of attitude, ignorance, prejudice and bigotry and all based purely on sexual attraction.
And this income gap applies only to African-Americans whose ancestors were slaves. New immigrants from Africa don't suffer the same disparity with whites. Slavery is the cause of the disparity. You seem to be blaming African culture. That's nonsense. Immigrants come here from poor backwards Asian nations and flourish.
