Have we evolved as black people or do we have along way to go?

Have we evolved as black people or do we have along way to go? In dealing with everyday circumstances and coexisting in this society.

Evolved how? Where is it black people need to reach? How is it black people should be dealing with everyday circumstances and coexisting in this society?

I think that most people would understand the question and it wouldnt have to be spelled out to them unless the cant relate to being black in society and unless they are other. So its a simple question and it doesnt need to be explained anymore than that.

Ok Kitten, for those of us who may not have understood the question as you phrased it (not everybody thinks the same way) it would be helpful for you to provide some clarification so all can be in a better position to participate comfortably. :cool:


Have we evolved as black people or do we have along way to go?

In order to determine whether evolution (change) has taken place, you need to have a reference point from which change takes place. From what point/behaviour/state are you using for your reference point for determining the level/rate of change of black people? Also, to make the determination as to whether black people have a long way to go, there needs to be a designated endpoint or desired state. What is this desired state which black people may still have a long way to go in order to reach?



In dealing with everyday circumstances and coexisting in this society.

What constitutes "everyday circumstances"? Which society are you speaking about coexisting in? You do realize that there are black people all over the world who live in diverse societies and encounter different "everyday circumstances". Eg. black people in the USA will have different circumstances and coexist in a different society than black people in Haiti or Ruwanda.

I think that when discussing topics like this it is important to be clear on parameters at play so that people don't misunderstand each other and the discussion doesn't degenerate (as it can easily do when discussing something as sensitive as racial issues.)

I suppose that's your answer so without further elaboration and not to minimize the gravity of the issue. I will let it stand because my views may be either to complex or may be misconstrued!
