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.

Agree that it's unsympathetic & all that to downplay as a separate and additional hurdle for sure

What would do the trick, IYO?
What is truly neccessary from outside of the AA community in order to see that result attained? Is there anything alone, completely external to the AA community, that can guarantee it?

You can not ignore history. It does play a big role.
But we all agree there are things that can be done to help people (all people).
first thing is to encourage everyone to take education seriously and finish high school.
Second thing is to encourage the traditional family, but this isn't a no no. The system is becoming anti family and geared to taking care of children, single moms, etc. By gearing the system this way you encourage people to have more children, to stay unmarried, etc.
That's what the stats show, education and strong families help bring success and prosperity.

Well, good luck.
In every IQ study I've ever seen blacks, as a group, score 15 points less than whites and are even further behind asians.
Until y'all get your median IQ comparable to whites and asians you won't be an par with either group.
