I agree with your point about slaves and other immigrants being obviously a poor comparison, but you go much too far here:

Most immigrants that came here came from wealth and education and strong family structures back home.

Okay that may be a stretch, but they came with their religion, traditions, and a sense of purposive (upward mobility). African slaves were stripped of their religion, forced into Christianity, raped, lynched, had to cultivate a new culture during and through opression, and really had little to hope for in terms of upward mobility (obviously some bucked that trend.).
Not only that, other immigrants were treated far better, just off what I stated, while blacks still faced oppression.
But can blacks fix their problems today? Yes, they have problems that need to be fixed within, but I think it's unsympathetic, ignorant and unamerican (not you specifically) when people blatantly ignore our American history and act as if half assing civil rights for 25 years was more than enough to get black Americans back on par with the other ethnic groups.
