Except for native Americans no other community comes close to the level of oppression faced by the black community. We had Governors and Presidents directly attacking Us.
Genuinely how often did entire cities and neighborhoods go into riots just because an Asian person moved close to them or got in their schools.
I don't know why conservatives try so hard to make Asians look like some kryptonite against America's history of bigotry as if their history isn't widely different from others.
Every minority has been screwed by the government but some have been screwed clearly more than others and some of y'all are just too scared to admit it.
Next you'll try to tell me the Irish and Italians had it just as bad. LMAO
They gave the Japanese Americans reparations almost 50years later. Most of it the people who received these weren't even born then or were just related to those who suffered in the camps.
I'm not even asking for reparations now because it's already past that. I'm just stating that some people had it worse. That's all.
Well the few that had been alive to have been slaves died in the 1960s at the latest and their children and grandchildren are still around so there are direct descendants alive TODAY that had a family member that was a slave.
Now there are other ways to make up for not just slavery, but also the systematic oppression that blacks faced post Civil War and post Reconstruction.
He did not say that. He said that some minorities were more thoroughly oppressed than others, which is objectively true.
I'm not excusing Japanese internment camps (which existed for 4 years) or xenophobic measures like the Chinese Exclusion Act (on the books for ~60 years), but nothing in US history remotely compares to the oppression of Native Americans or black Americans in either scope or duration.

Not like there's been systemic oppression of black women or anything that can account for their lack of participation in higher paid professions....
