You have a tough time wth history don’t you?
Out of those 400 years for 200 years African Americans were enslaved and were building America- I’m not sure what type of progress you expected them to make.
Then there jimmy crow laws, where despite not being allowed to vote, segregation and blocked from positions of power, they still maanged to create businesses and a culture that has influenced across the world.
Even after the civil rights movements were America killed their leaders they still experience discrimination in terms of job opportunities and housing.
Compared to them Somalis were given free housing, free Medicare, free education and food, whilst contributing nothing.
Saying AAs have had a 400 year head start is quite literally a historically ignorant thing to say.
