Hmm, come to think of it, could it be said that the Negro race is the first political football that then kicked us?
We haven’t seen American Indian problems like this for over a century, in spite of a low level of continuous discontent.
But again, the freedmen never got tobacco and casino concessions either.

You have to look at the history... Native Americans were deemed a martial race, so unsuitable for slavery — they had to be exterminated. At least kept away. They, at least those that survived for the most part, kept their independence.
Blacks, however, were seen as a docile race and ready to be owned. They were kept close, which itself was a curse not just during slavery, but after it. They were bred for manual field labor and were completely dependent on their massahs. Now, they are dependent on the gubmint. Since they were bred for manual labor and (unless they are athletes), they just cannot participate in the manual labor due to a number of circumstances — most notably actual loss of manual labor jobs. Unfortunate but that is the truth.
