i find it hard to believe after war destroyed all property in the south, that someone thinks that those people stayed rich and it was because of slavery. and nobody owes anyone for slavery. i did not own slaves, therefore i don't owe anyone for it. here's an idea. how about everyone stop being so prejudiced and ignorant and treat each other with respect...hmmm? that would make up for the past mistakes and horrors committed by our ancestors....all of them!

European Royal families?
@mrgreeen: i have heard of those but have never seen one. i have known people whose ancestors hoarded money and valuables so that when different wars were over or the depression ended, they were the richest people around...

@mrgreeen: that's s glass half empty argument. What was done was legal at the time. The glass half full argument would be that the African American descendants now live in the greatest country in the world. They can use their freedom and the very same system that enslaved 200 years ago to become educated and wealthy.
Everyone here now is here by choice as a citizen. If those opportunities are better elsewhere, no one will stop them or prevent them from returning. Lest we forget, we fight for their freedom(s) too.

@mrgreeen: or so "you'd" like the world to think. however, only politicians pander to their constituents with promises undelivered for decades. in this instance, what scares both sides of the house and senate is that businessmen just don't care to pander. they hire, fire, fix and build. trump won't give two shits if the best candidate in front of him is black or white. the uproar is accountability for both the government and the citizenry.
Being white is not a convictable offense for something that happened 200 years ago just as poverty is not a credible defense for something that happened 200 years ago.
All of us benefit from better access to improved affordable education and an economy that can support employment at all levels of the labor spectrum.
