   	Some black people in Japan are throughly discriminated against   
   but not as much as the native Japanese with the wrong ancestry. If   
   a Japanese family for many hundreds of years was confined to the trade   
   of leather which involved non-buddhist approved work of killing animals   
   and tanning the hides they are unaccepable to families that were   
   merely farmers, merchants or samurai.   
   	Oh and the black people in Japan are a result of the occupation   
   of Japan after WW II. They are black in the same sense as the   
   segregationist ideal of one drop of black blood.  Bothe the Chinese   
   and the Japanese are both prejudiced against "other races".

   	Benefits from the government are far less than a lot of white   
   people think.   
      
   	Actually there have been people who attempted to cross races   
   for certain reasons but they seem to have been detected as their   
   racial/ethenc group had not suffered the discrimination for which   
   the black group has been given very limited benefits.   
      
   	When you read about the government approved discrimination   
   to which black people have been subjected it makes you want to   
   throw up. Not just the national government either. The state of New   
   York passed laws depriving black people of property rights so that   
   rich white people could exploit their properties and that was after   
   the Civil War.   
      
   	In Southern California a black man and his family acquired   
   during segregation a beach front property which became a black   
   used resort. The municipality seized that property on behalf of   
   the white property owners who thought black people brought   
   property values down. They had moved to the west Coast to escape   
   the Black Codes of the un-reconstructed South.   
   	Recently this injustice has been, in some small measure,   
   corrected.
