What nonsense you always talk !
What made the black experience unique was that assimilation was obviously impossible. A Jew could change his name from Greenberg to Green. Or even Kerry. A black person would always be black and therefore immediately recognizable as such. No other minority in American history was ever the target of deliberate evil or singled out for the level of sheer viciousness as blacks were. You babble about the Scotch Irish. Tell me, did anyone ever have an entire ideology about the innate inhumanity and depravity of Scotch Irish ? Was a "Jim Crow" ideology ever created to freeze Scotch Irish into place as a permanent subject population ? Or any other minority for that matter ?
And there is no reason to pretend that a token black of outstanding ability here and there was any proof of American "colorblindness". To live as a free man, Paul Robeson had to go to Europe as often as possible. As was common for so many black Americans of his time.
When you talk about that stupid movie you are being downright silly. The entire point of GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER was that Sidney Poitier was black. That was the entire crisis, the entire plot, the entire problem. And while we're at it Katherine Houghton's career obviously ended up alongside Mai Britt's and Joanna Shimkus'. Hardly a sign of normal race relations, in which "boy meets girl" is taken for granted.
Time for the two of you to call it a day.
Racism against blacks does exist today in the USA. However, it is getting better and has improved a lot since the whenever you want to compare it to.
There are plenty of black racists today too who are against whites.
Most of america today is a live and let live society and don't give a crap about what went on in the past and are mostly non racist.
Sam, it is obvious you are black and are frustrated by the occasional incident of racism you suffer.
Nopardons, you need to understand, there is still some racism in the US.
Time for everyone to go to bed.
