Sigh...............Otto you are white;
"I desire for blacks to look at themselves as to what they can do better"
I honestly just want to laugh at the irony in that. It's pretty damn amusing. Otto, Have you ever heard of the whtie man's burden? What can the white man do, to civilize the less civilized? You are a white man, posing a question that will be interpreted in that sense.

"any notions that white people are fully to blamed be abandoned"

Who is to blame? Is blame even a factor? Was it collective?
Who initiated?
Can you explain to me, how white people are not to be blamed? Who built those ships? Who operated those ships? Who enslaved and punished? Who raped and murdered? Who stole and corrupted? ...
... ... ... ... ...

The only answer to your proposition is; "I volunteered" and that's not the case. I wonder what you are truly fighting for. Are you fighting the perception that white folks are to blame for everything? What is it?

peace
