The race hustlers claim that blacks were slaves for 400 years in America but once the US was founded slavery was rapidly eliminated. The US began in 1787 (signing of the Constitution) and ended in 1865 (end of civil war), that’s only 78 years. Its already been 50 years since the civil rights movement.

No.
When slavery was more common around the world, only a tiny percentage of whites in America were involved with slavery.
The contribution to the wealth of the nation from slavery is over-estimated for obvious political reasons.
No whites currently alive were involved in slavery.
The ancestors of many whites now living in America migrated there post-slavery.
Many whites died in the Civil War as a result of which slavery in America ended.
Most blacks now living in America would be living in the relative poverty, pestilence, and repressiveness that characterized most of Africa, were it not for the slavery period in America.

Just like with antisemitism,
those on the outside of the successful group would rather destroy the successful
than do the things the successful are doing.
Anti-white racism is the modern day equivalent of antisemitism. Take warning.

many blacks have white slaveholders somewhere in their family lines.Many blacks have black slaveholders somewhere in their family lines.
You should read the history of the blacks who owned slaves. There were thousands of them and some even were slave breeders.

Plus a trillion in welfare that the black community signed up for en masse, to the detriment of their community.

I fully believe that any slave owners left should pay any slaves left anything they want.

Would blacks accept a sincere apology and a ticket back to Africa?
I didn’t think so........

What do they think the last fifty YEARS of the leftist welfare state has been? That would be organized state-sponsored terrorism, extortion, and robbery.

year-long walk retracing the path of slavery between Africa and the United States
Did she walk across the Atlantic?!! My ancestors never owned slaves. They immigrated to the Republic of Texas in 1840 (dad’s side) and to Delaware 1690 (mom’s side).

Close enough. I am tired of paying for those that will not work. Those that are unable to work (those with severe mental or physical disabilities or the elderly) are different from those that will not work.

Nearly 600,000 white men in the Union Army died during the Civil War.Your point is well taken. However ~600,000 is the accepted total for both sides. Union losses were ~360,000; Confederate losses are estimated to have been ~260,000.
