Then consider every unbiased expert (and Chris Rock) a fool. Black America may have been enslaved, and that's horrible. But Native American suffered Genocide, by definition much worse then slavery.
Blacks have made uncountable contributions to America's society. But no race has contributed more then another.
Anglo Saxons- forged the government
Africans- forged agricultural prosperity
Asians- Built our railroads
Irish& Italians- Populated our factories and therefore the industrial revolution
I could go on
no one color of man has contributed any more then another. There are many groups of people who face discrimination on some level in this country. But fighting for the rights of one particular sect alone, and not all of America, is in and of itself a form of Racism.
One of the real pieces missing from American society is the will to move on. Consider the terrible things done by Germans to the Jewsih just 50 years ago. Yet still it *could* be argued that in 50 years Germany has done more to heal it's wounds then America has since 1863
