Historically, America was always about 80-90 per cent white and about 10-20 per cent black. About the time the Civil Rights movement won its great victories in the mid twentieth century, offering up the possibility that long seeded racial division might finally reach a proper resolution, a very, very liberal immigration policy changed everything. Suddenly millions of people who were neither white nor black and who were not connected to the history of this nation began streaming in.
Now the nation is about half white, about fourteen per cent black and the rest are a variety of minorities who have no long range history here but like to piggy back off of historic troubles that have nothing to do with them so they can claim all sorts of "rights" based on grievances that blacks suffered.
As a result of the confusion caused by numerous groups with little to no legitimate grievance clamoring for some ill defined justice for perceived slights, the one group with a real claim has been losing traction in their fight to correct the misdeeds of the past.
Resources that over the last few decades should have been used to put an end to the misdeeds of the past and finally unite black and white Americans have instead been diluted by the presence and unjustified complaining of minority groups that should be grateful that liberal policies allowed them to immigrate here at all. In these decades the condition of many black Americans has actually worsened as other minority groups have jumped in front of them in the line for attention.
America needs to reboot its immigration policy and spend the next generation focusing on policies that will allow long festering internal wounds to heal before allowing aggrieved people from other parts of the world to divert our attention from the American struggle. Since we have citizens in one of our cities drinking lead tainted water and an apparent inability to solve that problem, this is simply not the time to take in "refugees" from elsewhere. With the crumbling of inner cities, the conflicts between citizens and law enforcement and the ongoing disparities in wages and quality of life between whites and blacks, the time of liberal immigration policies must end. Because at the end of the day, unless your ancestors were held as slaves or suffered under the weight of the racial hatred of the post Civil War era prior to the Civil Rights victories, you have no business claiming America has harmed you in any meaningful way and you have no business jumping to the front of the line ahead of those who know what real suffering is like.
