You know what the whites did to the blacks in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the turn of the century, when they turned a large area of the city into a buslting little metropolis? With black-owned banks and even a black wall street. It was an impressive accomplishment made by former slaves, trying to build their lives and community. A white racist mob burned everything down and murdered over 800 blacks. It's silly to pretend that both whites and blacks in this country were treated the same and had the exact same opportunities.
The black experience in America is one of slavery, having your wife and children taken away from you by your white master. Until the mid-1800s, there were no laws protecting slaves from their masters splitting black families apart, selling mom to one white plantation owner, and selling her husband to another. Imagine generations of black men being humiliated, denigrated like that by their white masters (other men). Jim Crow laws lasted till the 1960s, a black man with his wife and child had to sit at the back of the bus. Can you imagine how humiliating it must have been for a black man to be called a "boy" by some white racist redneck, in front of his wife and kids? That's how it was for blacks in America for centuries. Even until recently, in the 1960s.
