Black people mostly aren’t immigrants and it’s not fair to demand that they assimilate if they don’t want to. America forcibly enslaved black people for hundreds of years, then excluded them from our society and political process for a few generations, it’s not surprising that they developed their own culture.

Assimilation implies giving up your culture for a new one. That isn’t the melting pot idea, which is about giving and taking.

Otherwise I don’t really get the solution. Don’t try to integrate different cultures, thereby continuing to exclude them?
