That was pretty silly. How can someone be worse off than a slave you idiot? How is waking up everyday knowing you cannot ever be free nor will your children and their children ever be free be better off? Its this kind of thinking that has caused you to lead such a poor life.The point is the whites were not slaves, neither were their children or grandchildren.
A distinction without a difference in many cases, and many were worse off than slaves. The 10's of thousands of skeletons buried in the Mississippi River levees are those of Irish and German laborers, buried where they dropped dead building them, for just one example, as well as having the most dangerous jobs loading and unloading the cotton boats and ships for another, and it didn't get better in northern cities for them either. See Fredrick Law Omstead's trip from New York to Texas for eyewitness accounts of that and many other 'Fun Facts' about the U.S. as it was in his day. He was the designer and builder of Central Park in NYC for those who find the name familiar. Obama was lying as usual when he said' you didn't build this' in his racist commie ranting.
