>>>Okay. So, how long does it take to get over the pain, and hardship, suffered by your ancestors?

>>How long does society keep repressing a group? It wasn't just the slavery. It was the Jim Crow that followed, including a number of states that allowed blacks to be virtually enslaved (http://www.slaverybyanothername.com/). It was government policy that made it much harder for black families to accumulate wealth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining).

As I said before - that is not the problem. The problem is the systemic racism that still exists.

Of course it's because they worked hard - but that has nothing to do with the fact that the racism problem still exists. You can't point to these examples and conclude that there is no problem - try using a larger data-set.
