Blacks were treatedbadly in the past

the ones who have been treated badly throughout history are the poor people

people who don't have an over-abundance of energy, ambition or greed, maybe because they are depressed or what the heck ever

those people are hated

Some people around here not only deny the existence of racism, they openly praise it.

No, I'm not going to give example for obvious reasons. Spend as much time around here as you and I do, and you will see them.

B. There's no "whataboutism" going on here. No one is saying that the groups mentioned weren't treated badly.

That's debatable. The OP could have been a little clearer as to whether it was referring to primarily those groups or only those groups. ONC suggested in a follow-up post that it was the former.

Why stop there? Mormons, Japanese, Jews, homosexuals, police officers.... Many groups of people have been treated badly in the past or present.

Including US-citizens of German decent during World War One - and US-citizen of Japanese decent during World World Two
 
My list would be from worst off to slightly better but still badly off:

1) The working poor.
2) The First Nations/Indigenous Peoples.
3) African Americans who were slaves or descended from slaves.
4) Immigrants.
5) American workers.

Cheers.
