-racial divisiveness has been greatest among American blacks and whites, (think Jim Crow, slavery, etc), and Native Americans.
This isn't to say that there aren't cultural issues unique to Black Americans that could be done away with for their betterment. It's just to say that when making raw comparisons of the kind made by GatorB, a lot of confounding variables are introduced.
