People from Africa first arrived here in 1619.
It is now 2021.
And there is still no real harmony between African Americans and Caucasian Americans.
And yet there are some well-meaning African Americans and Caucasian Americans who insist that there can be harmony between the two ethnicities (as currently portrayed in TV commercials) if only this step and if only that step were taken.
When, oh when, will they wake up and smell the coffee?
As Abraham Lincoln observed (before he became President), both groups would be much happier if they lived separate lives. He suggested that one of them move to the islands in the Caribbean. (He may have later changed his opinion.) He felt that both groups were simply incomptable.
Well, we know neither group is going anywhere.
So time will decide the issue.
By the middle of the next century, Caucasians will be a small minority in this country.
In the meanwhile, people on both sides will yell and scream. Nothing will really improve.
