The slavery of hatred

Here is a very good commentary I came across today by Mychal Massie, who addresses the touchy issue of the sense of entitlement that many blacks have today based on the slavery and civil rights cards that they pull to explain any type of misfortune or disadvantage. Massie, who is black himself, makes some very good points:

If a white family is denied the purchasing of a particular home, is it because they are white or because they do not qualify due to credit or financing issues? If a white group is unable to effect an agreement for the purchase of a pro-sports franchise, is it because they are white or because there are other mitigating circumstances? If a white woman is unable to obtain a new car loan, is it because she is white and a woman or because there are other issues? For each of the aforementioned questions, the answer would be that there were other issues. Why then would each of the aforementioned refusals be race based if referencing a black person? ... There are more so-called poor who are white than black. There are more white students denied acceptance to the school of their choice than blacks. More white coaches are turned away and more whites are denied loans ad nauseum than blacks. Why is it mitigating circumstances for them and racism for blacks?

It seems that racism is taking a reverse course so that if you're not of a minority, you don't get preferential treatment. Massie also references that slavery has been over for 140 years, and segregation has been over for 40, so using the excuse of having slavery as a part of their history to excuse their state of being--and continuing to harbor hatred for wrongs done by those in the past--he finds downright annoying, and even nauseating.
