Oh yes, that’s true. Railroads, universities, factories, etc

Ok, but apart from the Railroads, Universities and Factories, what have the Whites EVER done for us?

Because it is as social justice-y as the Amazon series on transgender characters.

I’d be much more interested in an alt-history series depicting the US had slaves never been brought here.

Yeah exactly. It still boggles the mind how anyone can say that Handmaid’s Tale is happening in the US.

So we get Liberia in Louisiana?

scenes from the aftermath of Katrina in New Orleans would lead one to think that...

It made no economic sense to feed, house, cloth and provide medical care for an investment that did not cash flow.

which explains the seceding states’ heated insistence on expanding slavery westward into the territories, I guess...

In the revisionist sense,the most humane thing to have done would be to repatriate every slave back to Africa.

except that Africa hadn’t wanted these people in the first place, and would have made things warm for the repatriating ships, perhaps sparking another ‘incident’...

Why if only the white man had done right all blacks would behave like Ben Carson and look like Thandie Newton and Lenny Kravitz

I’m a Yankee, and I don’t believe any such thing as you’ve described; you are remarkably limited in your view of reality...my thought is if the white man had done right, he’d have paid migrant workers to supply the labor intensive agronomy at a pittance of his profit, and the importation of Stone Age savages who were then denied means of assimilation would not have been necessary...and we would not be saddled with irreparable race relations which I believe will split the nation asunder on cultural levels...

Your plan for assimilating Stone Age savages would have been?
