They want to roll back all of the laws and all of the provisions that have been made which proposed to give relief to people who have suffered from racism. particularly the AfricanAmerican community. and I say "particularly" because the AfricanAmerican community is a special community among the minority groups. The AfricanAmerican community is unique because the AfricanAmerican community is made up of the descendants of slaves. The descendants of slaves are people who were brought here. not as immigrants. they did not come voluntarily. They were brought against their will. The descendants of people who were brought against their will here. the descendants of slaves. were made to suffer for 232 years. Immigrants come. and they have difficult. hard times for a couple of generations. maybe. But nobody else in the fabric of American life has been made. no other group has been made. to suffer 232 years of legal slavery. legal enslavement. and then. after that. all kinds of forms of subslavery and oppression. So we are unique.
