Something about 80% of those “White” slave owners . I can’t remember exactly what. If anyone nose; that would be great .

The vast majority of slaves were owned by only a few hundred super rich planters. Then the next tier of rich planters owned the next quarter, and they probably numbered a few thousand. The rest were owned by a few thousand small white farmers, Native Americans, and other freed blacks and mixed races.

That's where to start looking for reparations.

Who treated blacks like assembly-line burger meat?

Who owned the boats?

Follow the money.

That's the last thing that the "elites" want anyone to do. Look behind the curtain.

Seriously, we keep saying that "we" as in personally didn't have a slave. But most of our families had nothing to do with slavery. And what if my family died in the civil war to free the slaves? What if my family migrated here legally in the 40's and really had nothing to do with slavery? What if I don't feel guilty for shit? What if black people should stop celebrating Africa for selling their families into slavery. What if people should appreciate that if history didn't happen the way it happened none of us would be here

Whatever legacy of slavery was tehre, it was cleansed in the civil war. Period.

This makes it sound like a different kind of slave labor.

The day the imagery of the slave era turned from whips and chains to pimps and hos.

Yep, my family are those post industrialized era immigrants that came to the U.S. and worked their asses off to purchase a few small plots of land that they grew into a successful, multi-generational family farm. Slavery had been abolished for almost 80 years by the time we got here, yet somehow people like us are responsible for the sins of someone else's great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddaddy for nothing more than the color of our skin. Not that descendants of slave owners are responsible either for that matter.
