If I was making a video on black history month I would do some research and provide some examples. I guess one that stands out is the Civil Rights movement, which made America a better nation and held us to align more with the ideals of the American founding. MLK Jr. "all we say to America, is be true to what you said on paper".
You can also look at sports. Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, etc.
Quick question: Is that really true?
Naturally you would expect all the citizens of a nation to have equal rights, that's fine. However, is forced de-segregation and integration of ethnic groups necessarily within the ideals of the nation's founding? Black college kids don't seem to think so, with their claims of feeling "unsafe" on college campuses, and demanding new and improved segregated dorms for their own "security". The founding of the US allowed that there were disparate groups that didn't need to interact on a regular basis. That's why States and Cities and Townships have a broad ability to set their own rules and policies.
To my mind, if a primarily black town doesn't want to accept white people or yellow people or people from a different originating tribe or whatever into their community, that's fine. If they don't want to associate with those they don't like in any way, that's fine. That's called freedom of association. While there are certainly aspects of the Civil Rights Movements that have accomplished good things, objectively, not everything they've accomplished have been good. And the right to freedom of association IS a civil right, and one that has been trampled on. Not just for one ethnic group either. For all ethnic groups.
