Historically, black Americans' plight really isn't all that different or special. It is just one group which was oppressed and/or enslaved for a period of time. Historically speaking, those groups tend to do better when they assimilate rather than not.
If you want to compare blacks to Native Americans, fine. If you want to compare blacks to the Irish (as did the poster to whom I was responding), you are an order of magnitude off.
