But it is - because it's all connected.  If black people were never enslaved here, their current standing would be much better.  Is that not a given?
You know what I wish?

I wish the rich black people never offered to sell their own people, and I wish the rich white people never took them up on it.

Things would look so much different today.

Is that not a given?

How so? 

It's just a wish that something completely true never happened.

The largest slave owner in the area I currently live was in New Bern NC... he was a black man.  

ImHo we don't have race issues.. we have culture issues.  And we have a lot of them.  

However. I can drive down the road and have reasonable expectation everyone driving around me will conform to a standard expectation.  I can fly to despair places in this nation and have the same reasonable expectation... so... I know we can find some solution that can become second nature just like driving.. I just ain't got a clue how we arrange that.

Fro is just salty that we didn't all properly introduce ourselves to him or her by first exchanging our preferred pronouns.

I'm sorry that I'm not the caricature you imagine me to be.  It's weird to watch someone beat a dead horse that isn't actually there.

This is pretty disgusting.

Does this fact make anything better?

Hey, these people are selling humans you can enslave! 
What?  Well yeah, I'm going to buy some!
Unethical?  But it's FREE labor!
I mean they're selling them, I don't want to be rude.  They need to feed their families.
I got a great deal!  They only have wicker shields and wooden weapons!  I paid what I wanted!
Yeah, yeah, exactly!  All I had to do was threaten to take them all, and they turned on each other!
It was hilarious!

Optics. 

The printing press, early 1800s, brought enlightenment to the masses who relied on the information provided by those controlling them readily.  The industrial revolution allowed for a middle class to evolve- going to work and earning instead of relying on cultivation and herding and the intense labor of that.  People had time to read, a widely available skill on the heels of the printing press, and they read the founding documents of this nation.  They realized they could govern themselves.  

Those serendipitous events kept this nation from falling back under the crown, which was something the rulers of this planet fully expected, else they'd have kicked our asses thoroughly instead of pretty much allowing us to leave.  

As we got smarter and as we informed ourselves, led ourselves, and under the free markets available here for anyone with the gumption, it was discovered the cost of owning slaves was not near as smart as paying wages, however small, and allowing people to receive reward based on effort.  

That caused its own problems- the company store- another form of slavery.  The robber barons... it took targeting by the feds to shut that down when the IRS came to be in the 20th century.  It was supposed that kind of wealth would never be amassed here again.  

That plan was blindsided by the tech revolution. 

The powers- the crown(s) and the west indies trading company, as examples, positioned themselves to regain their power believing the US would fail in the early 1800s.  They'd no way to anticipate the collision of events that stopped that from happening.  They've been positioning since.  They own media and communications and most governments. 

Our, if there is an our, opposition isn't each other and it isn't based on race.  The pitting of whatever fraction of people's against each other serves the elite- the generational wealth that couldn't be poor if they tried... the same families that have held the wealth for generations upon generations.  

Slavery was on them.  It was instituted and driven by them.  It was necessary in the world at the time and that is painful to hear as it is to say.  People willingly entered into slavery under different titles as a means to escape- they were cared for.  Some were entered into slavery as tribes settled beefs with other tribes and sold their rivals to the trading companies.   That is not good.  But that is what happened.  

Viewing what was from hindsight and the vantage of today is narrow minded and indicative of someone who's been brainwashed by those intent to control us and own everything.  This "great reset" isn't a new idea.  "You'll own nothing and be happy about it".. the progressives under Wilson tried it and were shut down.  Hitler tried it.  Marx romanticized it.  Stalin and others on and on attempted.  None of them have the toys available today, and it's being ran on "us" yet again, but people are so tied up with hating rivals- tribalism- they don't notice.  

Tell me where I'm wrong.
