Slavery is NOT the cause of “disparities and inequalities” in the AA community, Bambi.
Thomas Sowell analyzes this in “Economic Facts and Fallacies”.
Simply, the “disparities and inequities” were LESS, and the advances made by blacks were at more than double the rate they are today, PRIOR TO 1960.
If “slavery is the root cause”, then those closer to the slave era would show MORE disparity than those further from it, unless something else is the cause. ([cough]liberals)
