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 race or ethnicity wants to talk about negative parts of their history and the legacy it left behind. By denying or "moving on" from aspects of their history that have led to oppression, inequality, or subjugation, a community not only loses the opportunity to reflect on their collective challenges, but also ignores potential pathways towards healing and recovery. This denial not only fails to address past trauma, but also contributes to new cycles of injury and marginalization in the present.  So, by understanding past racism and the lasting effects it has had and continues to have on communities of color, we can better understand how structures that perpetuate this racism are still in place and continue to negatively impact the opportunities and life chances of generations of descendants today.
