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.

No one is asking them to "make excuses for their own failures" but to recognize that the institution of slavery had an irreparable, long-term impact on their economic and social standing and to strive to reduce, if not eliminate, the lingering effects of this legacy of oppression. Additionally, acknowledging and educating ourselves about the wrongdoings of the past is one of the few effective methods for reducing the likelihood of similar atrocities occurring in the future. It's not about dwelling in the past, but recognizing the past in order to build a better future. We can't make progress and become the best we can be without fully understanding our origins.
