African Americans were brought to the United States against their will as slaves and were subjected to long-term oppression, discrimination, and marginalization, which are some of the defining features of colonization. While other minority groups, such as Irish Americans, faced prejudice and discrimination upon immigration to the United States, they were not subjected to the same degree of colonization as African Americans.
