Said it a thousand times
Look at the various waves of groups that came to this country after 1776
1) first Irish wave 1820s
2) second Irish wave 1850-1865
3) Chinese 1860–1880
4) Eastern Europe 1870-1900
5)Southern Europe and med
List goes in and on through today. EVERY group went through similar experiences. Killings , discrimination, worst jobs imaginable, locked out of banks/schools/political participation , etc. Every single group persevered , assimilated and ultimately became part of America. None of them cried and said “call me Irish American, Chinese American , etc”. None of them asked for anything. They worked hard as hell, sacrificed and made their own way.

Compare African immigrants to those groups and you'll see similar success stories. Black Americans descend from people who came here against their will, though. It will take a few more generations to erase that pathology.
That said, I'm tired of the excuse making. Many of us (black Americans) need to hear the hard truths said at that meeting.
