Black people had suffered great historical injustices. You obviously remember the slavery. And nowadays other forms of slavery still exist, as the economic and social slavery, giving lesser chances to black people to develop the intellectual side. Therefore it is of admiring yes, that a black person obtains to be a GM. Congratulations GM Maurice Ashley, and that the future of the humanity is better for all!
