How long is this legacy of slavery supposed to go on? Another fifty years? One hundred? One thousand??? Will it outlast the legacy of colonialism around the world?
And why does only this particular “legacy of slavery”-black African slavery by a small percentage of whites in the US-get used as an excuse for the increasing (the further from that “legacy” that they get) dysfunction of the black community? All races and ethnicities can point to a legacy of slavery, serfdom, etc, in their history, some more recent than black American slavery. Why is this particular legacy the only one which is considered an excuse for disproportionate crime and destruction?
