The Vanderbilts used a lot of slaves to build the railroads that made them rich. Shouldn’t the money go to the descendants of those slaves? Anderson Cooper will be savagely criticized for becoming wealthy off the backs of slaves. Oh wait, he’s a fag. Nothing to see, move along.
Amateur historian here: Few if any of Vanderbilt railroads were constructed before the Civil War. None were in the south or the new west where Chinese ‘coolie’ labor was used so his use of slave labor is doubtful.
