There is a book "From Plantation to Ghetto" by August Meier and Elliott M. Rudwich, written as a high school text book, 1966.
Yes, there was plenty of discrimination all through the history of America against the Black man.
I tried to understand the pain and the hatred they felt by imaging how I would have felt being Black in that time.

The
white man had the vote and power to manipulate the laws, unjustly,
against the Black people. There were laws on multiple levels of
government in different states corralling the Black people from one end
of the justice system to the other. Where to run; where to hide.
One year a vote would give Black men the right to buy and own land.
The following year, the law changed against the Black man who
One year a vote would give Black men the right to buy and own land.
The following year, the law changed against the Black man who
had
since used his entire savings to buy land; only to have the government
take it away from him, including all their livelihood, profits, and
savings. I am surprised the Black people did not kill every White person
in their path. I know I would have felt that way.
Instead, they suffered and tried to change the laws through political means when they could not vote. When they could vote and were elected to office, they had little influence.

Unfortunately, the Black people had two strikes against them.
Not only were there discrimination from Whites, but from Blacks.
There were plenty of discrimination within the Black communities also. The Black organizations had their own cast system. Some
organizations only accepted light colored Black men. Others, only
accepted dark colored men.
Some Black men who were freed from slavery, also, acquired Black slaves.
They did not feel the injustice towards their own skin color.
Freed Black men bought and sold their Black brothers and sisters just like the Whites. Color and race were not the issue, it was survival. It was human nature
to want a better life.
It seemed easier for a White person to own a Black person,
but how easy was it for a Black person to own another Black person?
How easy is it for President Obama to say he cares about
the Black people of America when there are more Black people
unemployed under his leadership
than any other President in history. Why is that?

Since this little bit of history proves that Human Nature will
react, unjustly, to their own kind, when given the opportunity to vent
deep seeded feelings of their own social inequality, and when those
feelings are not steeped in morality.
Of the freed Black men, not all took slaves. Some did not need slaves to
work the land. Frederick Douglass used his education and power of persuasion to educate the Black people who wanted social equality.
I believe, that in today's society, the racial divide would not
exist if it were not fueled by those few Liberals in power who still want to
harness those 1800s-feelings of social inequality.
Liberals like the Al Sharptons', Pres. and Mrs Obamas', DOJ Eric Holders'...

are the present day Black leaders and upstarts because
they hold the highest offices in America and use that position to brainwash poor Black people into believing that they don't have the same opportunities.
If there is so much social inequality in America, how is it that President Obama and DOJ Holder reached the highest office in the country?

It was human nature, not the color of ones skin, for Black slave owners in the 1800s to own Black slaves to work the land in order to succeed.
their power and status, if they let their people go, to be free to prosper in an America that is the land of opportunity.
Rising tension between blacks and successful African/Carribean immigrants
"...Luvvie Ajayi, a Nigerian-born immigrant, tried to explain “akata,” a word some Nigerians use to refer to black Americans that translates into wild animal. (Note: A lot of Nigerians use akata to mean “ghetto” as well... the reason some Africans believe black Americans should be doing better is because they don’t know about the history of black Americans
but (to the Nigerian-born) they see their own success as a reason blacks should excel as well. “Africans who come to the U.S. are statistically more successful than African Americans and they think ‘if I could do it, why not them?’” she wrote...."
The evidence of successful Blacks today who
did not fall for the social inequality hype:
L. Douglas Wilder was governor of Virginia from 1990 until 1994. His was a political career of many firsts: the grandson of slaves, he was the first African American elected governor of any state in America. He was the first black member of the Virginia Senate in the twentieth century. And he was the first African American to win statewide office in Virginia when he was elected lieutenant governor in 1985. A Democrat, he ran briefly for United States president in 1991 and in 2004 was elected mayor of ..
David Webb: Conservative African-American radio talk show host noted:
I'll use the most recent example: King Shamir Shabazz of the new Black Panther party stood at a polling place in Philadelphia carrying a batton threatening people and making statements like 'You're about to be ruled by the Black man.' That's an example of a racist group that advocates a racist rule and mantra. http://www.essence.com/2010/07/26/tea-party-365-co-founder-david-webb/

Charles V Payne.
Born in Harlem to a single parent household, Mr. Charles V. Payne is
the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Principal Analyst at Wall Street Strategies, Inc.
He was earlier the President and a Director at Wall Street Strategies.
Charles Payne recently criticized U.S. assistance programs like welfare and food
stamps, asserting they can start to make poverty feel “a little comfortable.”
These successful Black Americans are the educators and visionaries for the
Human Race; for all ethnic groups.
America from the beginning is a Melting Pot of Immigrants of all colors and
ethnic groups. The only thing that has changed are the laws that have made
it possible to have a Black president and Black attorney general,
holding the highest offices in America.
How can this be Social Inequality?
