The Asians in America can integrate well with the whites, why can't the blacks?
Slavery existed in numerous countries in Asia as well, even longer than the black slavery in US.
Slavery in the United States was of a different character than slavery in Asia or Africa, because it became a purely racial institution with long term impacts on the black psyche.
Look, I just moved to a black neighborhood, and despite my education and my best efforts to shake the feeling, I still get subconsciously nervous when I see a scruffy looking guy in a hoodie or with dreadlocks walking around. Blacks have found it difficult to integrate into society because they're distrusted by whites on a subconscious level.
Lots of white people (conservatives more often than Liberals, but everyone might be guilty of this) deny that they have these subconscious racial impulses because they're ashamed, but the first step to overcoming the problem is to admit that you have the problem.
