"Relative" peace.

Like, there were the internment camps, and racist immigration laws, of course discrimination in the public sphere and jobs, etc.

I'm not ignorant to their plight. But they also didn't have the government introduce drugs into their community to criminalize them.

I've lived in the ME for 3 years and I can confirm that Arabs don't like black people

I know I have first hand experience of it. And just knowing that those huge buildings and all the luxury was built through what is essentially slavery by the blood sweat and tears of Africans and South Asians that they view as subhuman, it makes me sick honestly.

The slave issue is partly it, but it's not the entire story. Asian Americans have been allowed to prosper in the background in relative peace, so I'd say that's their biggest advantage over other US minorities.

The other large chunk of the issue for blacks is the socially structured condition of black criminality.

There’s a long history in this country of dealing with problems in the African American community through the criminal justice system, criminalizing social problems (like unemployment, mental health, illiteracy, etc.) in a way that we don’t do in other communities.

The enduring view of blacks in this country is as a race of people who are prone to criminality.

Take it like this:

To pursue your own freedom [as a slave] was illegal, slavery was enforced by the criminal justice system that made very ordinary things like learning to read effectively a criminal act.

Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave, he was a criminal. Harriet Tubman was running a massive criminal conspiracy, stealing people into freedom. I know we all love Martin Luther King today, but in his time, by the highest powers in the American justice system, the FBI, Martin Luther King was viewed as a criminal. That's why they signed off on the bugging of his home and wherever he was.

The lens of criminal justice is the way this country has traditionally regarded black people and that has painted how anything we do is received. The blackness of our skin carries with it a lot of socially constructed implications of who we are as a people.

But it's also up to your generation to change those views, even if it is little by little
Simply arguing about it on the internet is not going to do it. Violence is not going to do it

Stick it to their wallets, honestly
It's why these issues persist

Oh wait there was slavery involved

Bingo!

I have faith we can do it. But it'll also require things like legalizing marijuana to decriminalize black youth and erode drug gang activity. The Italian mob was also an issue in how Italians were perceived until they were run out of business with the undoing of prohibition.

It's just that those kinds of things take time and momentum.

Slavery (not limited to blacks) was alive and well in Saudi Arabia until the 60's. But Arabs should not be judged according to Saudi Arabia

I do agree that in certain Arab countries blacks are looked down upon, same as Latin America, some parts of Europe, etc. They're really no different, unfortunately.

The Nixon administration is to blame for a large portion of the continued sentiments
Without it, the USA would probably be a lot further ahead

Honestly, a little life lesson for everyone is that the world's issues have ALWAYS stemmed from two things: sex and money
Wars have literally been fought over these dumb things, and negating either reduces strife

Marijuana will become legal as soon as the tobacco industry has shifted their own resources to growing marijuana
That's the only thing stopping it from being legal

The final major thing that needs to be focused on is education, but that is collapsing within the US in general
