Your descriptions say it all, African-Americans are unique to the USA and have been heavily discriminated against as a race, they are uniquely American and deserve to be educated about considering the way they've been treated in the past.

The Jewish issue is actually very different and shouldn't really be compared, they are truly an international race and have usually been at the business hub of any society that they have lived in and for that reason especially in Europe, they have been heavily discriminated against! In the USA they've never been treated as slaves and basically suffered the same as any other ethnic group that emigrated there, if you're going to suggest some kind of education for the hardships of American Jews, I suggest you also blow the horn for the Irish, Italian and Polish immigrants of the 20th century as well.

The negro was used as a slave, the native indian robbed of his land, whereas the Jews ended controlling Hollywood.
