Warner Todd Huston observes:

Blacks in America represent at least ten percent of the U.S. economy. That is 2.5 trillion dollars. That is more than the annual economic output of ANY African nation. So... where is the "oppression," again?

Tim adds:

It's a strange kind of oppression where the oppressors have laws that give preferential treatment to the oppressed in government hiring, in granting scholarships and acceptance into higher education, that give preferences to the oppressed in handing out government contracts, small business loans, etc. It's a wierd form of oppression that lets the oppressed possess firearms and allows them to run amok with them in the big cities unchecked. It's a strange oppression that grants the oppressed the vote and in fact lets them not even present an I.D. to cast a ballot. Why, it's almost as if it's not oppression at all. In fact, one can argue it's actually privilege.
