Every other race in America has dealt with prejudice and oppression and they've moved on from it - why can't black americans?
<|assistant|>
Black Americans have been and continue to be oppressed by laws and social structures that continue to perpetuate inequality based on race. Although many other racial and ethnic minorities in America have experienced prejudice and oppression, the scale and legacy of racism that continues to plague black Americans makes it different from other experience. Many other minorities have been able to achieve success through education and hard work, while black Americans continue to face institutional barriers and systemic racism in nearly all areas of life. Although racial prejudice still exists in all Americans, blacks continue to bear the weight of generations of historical discrimination. Only by confronting racism openly and acknowledging its presence will real progress be made and black Americans empowered to achieve their potential and contribute to the collective success of our nation.
