My house was built in 2005. Some of the people who worked on it may have been black. I think most of them were Hispanic.

Yeah, whatta laff.

She isnt even from the US and acts like she was on the first ship here.

And she readily admits to affirmative action which she deserved none of having never suffered any discrimination at the hands of anyone in the US.

Slavery was not legal and never legal in most of the United States. One of the reasons the North was able to win is that they did not have slavery and thus their agriculture vastly outproduced the South’s who relied more on involuntary labor (that did not earn wages and thus did not further contribute to economic activity elsewhere) vs. paid farmhands and technological innovation. Slavery retarded economic growth where it was practiced.

The northern states were far wealthier than the south during the slavery era. It's not a coincidence that the financial center of the US has been New York, not Atlanta or some other southern city. Other northern cities like Boston have always had more of the largest financial institutions than the southern ones.

Further, even attributing the south's wealth in the present day to slavery is utterly moronic. What things that the slaves built are still there? I guess a few historical buildings have been preserved.

And that’s why sub Saharan Africa is a thriving peaceful clean place.

Is that why they now have a total RIGHT TO DESTROY IT?

WITH BURNING, LOOTING, THIFT, HATING OTHERS ALL THE TIME.

THIS MEANS THAT THE WHITE POPULATION NEVER CONTRIBUTED TO ANYTHING, WE WERE SO LAZY.

It was a JOINT venture and now some are doing everything to break up the bond of achievement that lasted for years.

Okay, be martyr, be oppressed, be neglected until you realize that NONE OF THAT WAS TRUE.

That would be some of my relatives.

Just as a matter of interest us poor folk in West (by GOD) Virginia couldn’t afford to buy no n*****s any way back then.

All my family were coal miners working for the mine owners!

Loretta Lynn wrote a song about just how rich we all were.

Such racist attitudes as “Joy” exhibits bring one much Sorrow, not joy.

And irrationality.

I would suggest that “Joy” try to get over her problem.

There was slavery in the northern states though the economy there was not as dependent on it as the south was.

Her argument is that the blacks were brought here forcefully.
Then trained in the trades by whites to become master craftsman and builders.
No blacks worked in cotton.

Not to diminish the value of their labor in North America, but go back through history and see what they built before contact with the white man.

Black people were AMONG the people who built this country. Let’s recognize the contributions of ALL of our people. The attempt to deny the contribution of any group of us should be recognized as racist, ignorant and hateful.
