Why is Anyone Surprised at the Existence of Angry Black Folks?

I'm not trying to be simple-minded here. Hell, I'm trying to be rational. But I don't get it. I just don't get it. Why are so many white folks surprised about the existence of black anger against white people

Let's do a thought experiment. Whatever group you descend from, whichever community you were raised in, pretend that the following facts are true:

1) people from your community have a much, much higher chance of dying violently than the members of other communities;

2) people from your community have a much, much higher chance of being imprisoned than do people from other communities;

3) one of the main reasons for that rate of imprisonment is because a particular crime that is considerably more common in your community is subject to prison terms that are orders of magnitude higher than an equivalent crime that is more common in another community;

4) the women of your community are the fastest-growing segment of new HIV infections;

5) statistically, working people from your community will make 30-40% less money than a person from another community doing the exact same work;

6) public schools in your community receive less funding, have worse facilities, and less experienced and/or less qualified teachers than the schools in another community, but your schools have to meet the same performance standards;

7) odds are very, very good that several generations of your ancestors were held in slavery;

8) odds are very, very good that your ancestors' families were victimized by members being sold off to different places, and that your ancestors could not legally marry;

9) your grandparents can remember not being able to drink from certain fountains, not being able to use certain bathrooms, not being able to eat at certain restaurants, not being allowed to attend certain schools, and not being able to vote because of the community that they were part of; and

10) whenever you bring up any of the facts above, people tell you to "get over it" and to "stop being such a victim."

Okay, assuming that all of the above facts are true...ARE YOU PISSED OFF YET?
