To get serious though. African descendants have an issue that goes well beyond Jim Crow laws, racism and US Slavery. People are extremely quick to forget a few things.
1. Slave was abolished close to 150 years ago. There is noone alive now who was a US Slave owner or US Slave back then.
2. Jim Crow laws were abolished almost 50 years ago, there are not a lot left today who were subjected to them. Some yes, but not a large percentage.
3. African decendents have problems in all countries, not just the US.
4. African-Americans kill more African-Americans through violence than any other cause when it comes to young African-American males. Why is that?
5. Nigeria has spent decades in civil war after civil war amongst it's tribes, why is that?
6. African has the oldest civilizations on the planet, yet it has the most 3 world and the least developed nations on the planet. Why is that?
I'll just adress these 6 points, 'cause I'm lazy.

That is true, but the effects of those still have a carry over effect, one of the biggest is the high amounts of xenophobia, and gangs, in majority black areas, these originated as a means of self defense for the blacks as a result of institutionalised racism.
3. African decendents have problems in all countries, not just the US.
I dunno about other countries, so we'll talk about mine, in Australia, we didn't let blacks in until about the 60's, and the biggest problems from blacks come not form those who have settles, but the recent refugees who have yet to integrate into Australian society, most violent gangs here are either Middle Eastern or Asian, so that prooves that point wrong.
4. African-Americans kill more African-Americans through violence than any other cause when it comes to young African-American males. Why is that?
Because if the gang culture that cam about as mentioned in my reply to the first point.
5. Nigeria has spent decades in civil war after civil war amongst it's tribes, why is that?
Because Europeans didn't take into consideration tribal boundaries when dividing the continent, tribalism is a big thing in Africa, akin to the nationalism in all the little Eastern European countries, you put a bunch of them in a soccer pitch, and they'll fling chairs at each other, imagine if you divided Eastern Europe along arbitary lines, and then expected Serbs and Croats to get along just fine, it wouldn't happen, and it's the same thing with tribalism in Africa, each one wants power to benefit their tribe, and no-one elses.
6. African has the oldest civilizations on the planet, yet it has the most 3 world and the least developed nations on the planet. Why is that?
That can be attributed to many causes; tribalism, colinialism, racism, drought, famine, AIDS, and bugger-all education are some of the factors, look at Ethiopia, it was one of the richest kingdoms in Africa, then it got hit by drought and Communism, now it's a **** hole.
Keeping in mind this isn't a 'blame whitey' post, blacks themselves do much to perpetuate many of the problems, and shy away from potential remedies, but at the same time, many of these are also not the sole fault of blacks.
