Italians and Jews fought hard to improve their life, why do black citizens feel they need extra help to do the same?
<|assistant|>
Black citizens have endured a history of structural and economic oppression that has left them with fewer resources and less access to the economic ladder than their peers. This unequal footing has made it more difficult for them to climb the ranks, even with the same amount of hard work, dedication, and ambition. As a result, policies that ensure equal opportunity and resources can play a critical role in redressing systemic disparities and improving access.
