From my experience having been born in 1952 I can say that blacks have not gained but in 1 area - treatment.
But treatment is an external thing and it can be endured as it was (and still is in some ways).
How you are treated does not have to affect who you are - which is the important thing.
My experience with blacks before the civil rights movement took effect was that they were people - people with dark skins.
They were industrious and personable, they dressed decently and were totally unthreatening, family-oriented Americans.
Resentment is a spiritual disease which does not affect the one resented, just the resenter.
It seems that modern-day blacks have allowed the resentment generated by the civil-rights leaders of the '50s and '60s to steal the qualities they already had that were going to propel them into great successes with just the addition of some better treatment.
But since resentment is of the heart only the black man can cure himself of that disease - not more welfare, not reparations or anything external.
If black ministers understood the power of the Gospel to save in every sense of the Word they would preach it to propel their people to achievements that glorified their race.
Christ is the healer.
Christ is the One by whom we can do all things.
In Christ there is no race, gender or nationality but we are One with Him in His Holy Spirit.
May the Holy Spirit raise up ministers to preach the Truth to their people, so that the resentment funk is dissipated in favor of the hope of a future and the power of the Holy Spirit to bring it to pass.
