truth is every "racial" issue is about economics, like most social "issues".
Blacks were denied access to education and free market capitalism from the industrial revolution through the 1950's by slavery and institutionalized racism.
The black issue was not as simple as saying they should have just worked harder.
They were denied access. They're not the only people, either. They just happen to be very polarizing because they lived in what was predominantly a very Northern European country.
Assimilating black women was not carried out in such a way as was in Islamic countries, and later the Southern European colonies.
I've always been fascinated by that, as that process really makes it all worthwhile.
Why even bother?
