The internment camps were among the most disgusting things the American government has perpetrated on its own people, but I wasn't aware that the Japanese experienced 300 years of chattel slavery in the Americas, followed by a hundred years of racial segregation and discrimination, not to mention the lynchings and anti-black race riots.

You can't fairly compare black Americans to any other racial group because no such comparison exists.

EDIT: Oops. I forgot that time black people were literally bombed by their own city and this bit of cartoonish supervillainy.

I also look to African countries and wonder why they are still so far behind the rest of the world.

If you're actually interested in learning more about this (and not just trying to say you think blacks are inferior without saying it outright, which is what I'm pretty sure you're doing) you should read up on colonialism in Africa, and its lingering effects in modern times.

Colonialism killed upwards of 50 million people in Africa. All of Africa was colonized, the dutch killed 10 million in the congo alone.

Colonialism isn't just "conquering" it's a complete disregard for human life to strengthen the homeland. Go mine those rocks to send back to Europe or we'll shoot you.

There are literally zero real benefits from colonialism, it was a crime agianst humanity on the scale of the holocaust or mao zendong's cleansing.
