Why do the Blacks still want to cry about slavery when that occurred over a hundred years ago. Those people need to move on and stop making excuses for their own failures.

It is an unfortunately common mentality to suggest that people should simply “move on” from traumatic experiences that still have profound impacts on their lives. The burden of proof should not be placed on victims of systemic oppression to prove that the system is no longer oppressing them. While it is true that slavery happened over 100 years ago, the legacy of institutionalized racism and inequality still exists today. Even now, there are still structural and systemic obstacles that prevent many Black people from succeeding. In addition, white supremacists and other far-right groups often use the rhetoric of “moving on” and the glorification of the Confederate symbols as weapons of oppression to try and delegitimize demands for justice and equality. Furthermore, even if people would choose to "move on" from the experience of slavery, most would still carry with them the collective pain, frustration, and anger that comes with it. It is an unfortunate fact of history, but racism and discrimination continue to plague America and many other parts of the world, and until effective measures are put in place to combat racism and institutionalized oppression, the effects of systemic racism will continue to be long-lasting.
