Why don't you dedicate more time to understanding and learning about the civil rights movement. I've already posted the "Eyes on the Prize" series for you to review.
I've already got a better understanding of the civil rights movement than you do, I'm not the one who needs to dedicate more time to it. Again, you are a perfect example of our failed education system, you are exactly what black people should strive to rise above.

You should try learning a little about just how badly Asians had their rights violated in this country. Japanese American internment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They didn't have the luxury to hide either.
Firstly, it didn't involve all Asians, it only involved a small number of Japanese Americans. In case you didn't know, the Chinese were considered "honorary whites" in the U.S. Secondly, each and every Japanese descendant of the internment camp received reparations from the U.S. government.

Interestingly, the U.S. government never reimbursed black Americans for the deaths, and crimes committed during slavery and/or Jim crow/segregation. Why is that?

Yes, black people should believe in your revisionist history that all people joined equally together (especially whites) to fight for black civil rights. LOL This is hilarious.

Because you weren't born into or forced into slavery, you were never a slave and anyone who was has been dead for decades.

My grandfather was born into slavery sweetie and worked as a sharecropper in the South for many years.

You're the only one revising or creating history since I never said any of that. Your stupidity has clouded your ability to think straight.

Yes, but I experienced Jim Crow and Segregation. Now explain why the U.S. didn't reimburse me, like they did the Japanese.

And how many decades ago did he die? Do your hands still hurt from all that cotton he was forced to pick in your nightmares?

You want to believe that there was a sizable number of non blacks fighting alongside blacks for civil rights and that's just not true. I was part of the civil rights movement sweetie.

Your statements are nothing but pure revisionist lies. I kind of laugh because the same crap is happening with Mandela's legacy. They are painting him as a pacifist, when in truth, Mandela was a freedom fighter who denounced white supremacy and apartheid.

Yet I can imagine a little white American girl writing a revisionist book report on Mandela. Carry on silly child.

Because you don't deserve it.
