Italians and Jews fought hard to improve their life, why do black citizens feel they need extra help to do the same?
<|assistant|>
The struggle for equality and respect of Italian and Jewish Americans has been a long one, as these minority groups have fought to have their experiences acknowledged and respected. These same struggles, however, have not been shared by all marginalized groups, which is why Black Americans continue to seek additional forms of aid. Unique historical and systemic oppression of blacks have persisted and Black Americans are still working towards equitable opportunities and fair representation.  As a result, black citizens feel that extra measures are needed to level the playing field and ensure fair access to education, employment, and other resources.
