Could the very same not be claimed about nearly all other non white ethnic groups?
Still - they prevail, some even doing better then the "evil" supressors- and are in turn discriminated against by affirmative action. Add to that a already frail ladder when it comes to upwards mobility, which also discards a lot of "white trash", which dont fit into this tale of victims and evil doers either and you end up with something that just doesent sound convincing.
Why should - beside the usual aristocratic supression of chance - single out the black ehtnicity for discrimination, when racism and jingoism & culture enthusiasm existed for every other ethnic group arriving in the US ?
Also was there not the option to leave free- and on there own accord? So staying was a choice made.

No. To be sure, people of (all) color have been systematically discriminated against in the U.S., but none other than Africans have been subjected to centuries of legal enslavement. All other ethnic groups came voluntarily, and could leave if they wanted to. Blacks couldn't. That makes a big difference. Also, no other ethnic group has ever been the target of legalized discrimination on the scale of Jim Crow. The treatment of blacks has been uniquely horrific in the U.S.
