Do you really compare what Asians, Irish and Italians experienced to the systematic state-sanctioned discrimination and oppression that Blacks experienced for centuries?
Under no circumstances is there an equivalence.
None!

But tf, there must be a way out for multigenerational impoverished Americans. There must be a solution better than more of the same, because "more of the same" is not working. Blaming others and seeking deeper dependency is not a solution. Fatherless households is not a solution. Homicide rates at 400% of the national average (suffered in the vast majority at the hands of other Blacks) is not the solution. Locking impoverished communities into terrible schools is not the solution. Northerners' urban habits of gentrification are not the solution.

Claiming there will never be a post-racial mindset in this country (when in fact that is the current mindset of a vast number of Americans) is not the solution. It is not now, nor will it ever be. Though some may think it advantageous somehow, it's a loser's gambit.

I'm not blaming "the man" for Black folks problems today, because there's no excuse some of the ills that plague many inner Black communities, but I felt compelled to explain why the Asian to Black comparison is an apples to oranges one.
