Why is it believed that much remains to be done before black americans enjoy full equality?
People have different definitions of "rights." Historically, liberals had what is called a negative view of rights. Rights were defined by what other people could not do to you. People cannot take your life, liberty, or property because you have an "inalienable right" to these. Modern liberals have developed a positive view of rights. Some people believe you have a right to medical care. A right to healthy food. A right to good housing. Some even believe you have a right to inexpensive Cable Television. Nearly everyone agrees that a right to equality under the law is essential to any understanding of rights and freedom. This is where many people see a difference in the treatment of African-Americans. Here is an opinion expressed by one contributor: * Because of "White" supremacy mostly. If one checks the laws of on the Federal, State, and Local levels, one will find that the racist laws of yesteryear are now gone. This of course, has not translated into the society at large treating "Black" people as individuals. Racial profiling, racist lending practices, etc., etc. are still the norm. But most of the time there isn't a way to prove this in a court of law. It has been documented that despite being behind other American cultural grouping in terms of earnings, the "Black" community in America has more economic capital than many nations on this planet. I must say there are two issues. The first is the equality issue. I do not believe that will happen anytime soon. "White" supremacy is just too ingrained into the dominant culture of the United States. But the second, issue is the one of "Black" enpowerment. I must say that sure there are some obstacles to "Black" enpowerment, but the biggest are the ones that "Black" people put in front of themselves. It may be a long time before "Black" folks win the pleasure of being treat equally. But it is up to the "Black" community unite, identify, and resolve the issues of education, economic opportunity, etc., etc. that "Black" people as a whole face.
