There is a UNCF because for over 200 years blacks were held down in society as slaves. And up to today blacks are still feeling the impacts from that. To set up a UNCF or anything to help blacks out is a great thing. After all those years of suffering up until present day. For people to tell blacks to "just forget about" it or to say "it happened in the past, get over it" is pure crap. As a black male in society that odds are stacked against me more than any other person in the USA that I will ever make it or ecome successful. In America a C average white man can become president while a B average black man has to struggle to try and make it into colleg or get a job at McDonalds. So, until you know what is really happening y'all better check yourself.
