The Black population have ancestral ties through slavery with a lot of their ancestors having been here since the 1700s, Natives even longer, and they obviously have family here. That argument is not strong here in the modern day and also what is claimed in the sources is that wealth and race are tied.

The Black population have ancestral ties through slavery

Their ancestry is still originally Africa. Once again, why else would the U.S make citizenship aimed at everyone else but them? They're not considered the same.

Edit: And there are African countries like Ghana that recognize this. They only give out citizenship to Black Americans, but not Whites.

Natives even longer, and they obviously have family here.

Then they can go live on the reserves. It's their fault for whatever happens when they get off it.

Also, keep in mind that they fought wars and lost. They're not victims like the media makes them out to be. Throughout history, the loser tribe would wholesale get wiped out.

That argument is not strong here in the modern day

The only argument is no one has a right to live next to White people just to complain about them. There are plenty of non-white countries on Earth. No one in America has a gun to their head keeping them there.

what is claimed in the sources is that wealth and race are tied.

Iceland is 99% White, is an island, and was not involved in any non-white slavery. They're still rich.

Liberia was never colonized, is 99% black and yet they're still poor. It turns out, the differences are innate.

The sources state race and wealth are tied in the US, it's not talking about other countries. Again the argument about Black Americans doesn't work as they were taken to the country in the 1700s and are completely culturally detached from Africans. With Natives, the arguments raised for them state the reserves are in poor quality due to discrimination and wealth inequality.

Pretty weird how in a "systemically racist" state where race and wealth are tied, the household income for whites is sixty thousand dollars whereas for certain immigrant communities it is over twice that.
