@specman in all fairness, a lot of the current generation's wealth inherited from previous generations originates in slavery. (Generally speaking of course. I know that's not true for every individual.) Just because the people currently alive didn't employ slaves personally, doesn't mean they didn't profit from slavery or don't owe slaves anything.

@specman And here we go again. Was your family in the United States in the '60s? '70s? Then yes, they benefited from slavery.
@LordShadowfire no they didn’t benefit from slavery.
@NerdyPotato the wealth that most Americans have did not come from slavery.
@specman perhaps not a majority, but a significant part did.

no they didn’t benefit from slavery.
Really? So they weren't here at any time through the 1970s?@LordShadowfire yes
