There are more black people in the US descended from slave owners than white people in the US.

Better stat is that black America (if it were its own country) is the richest black nation on earth and even richer than some European (i.e. white) nations.

Depending on how that statistic is derived, I'm not sure blacks would find that comforting.

For example, is it meant insinuate lineages back to African/black slave owners? Though it might, probably not. Frankly, if it did, the rate would probably be quite high indeed, and it would make for a more potent fact to highlight. But surely that's not what this is really trying to say.

In that light, it's instead implicating white slave owners in having involuntary relationships with slaves at a substantive rate, to the point that blacks are carrying blood of slave owners at a higher rate than a randomly selected white on the street.

Lol how do you know those relationships were "involuntary" they could have been perfectly consensual as a hell of a lot of those relationships were

Also he's actually implying that theres more black victims in the US than there is white people... he was being sarcastic & joking but you had to go and get all preachy
