I don't live in Africa, and no one in my family has lived in Africa for 500 years. The countries my distant ancestors came from over there don't even exist any more..Move to Africa.
I'm a Foundational Black American and this country was built by black people even a white supremacist like Trump says so
This country owes Foundational Black Americans tangible resources so that we can purchase and control our own safe schools, own neighborhoods, and own our own businesses. And not be subjected to the religion of white supremacy.
Not to mention the fact that Africa like the USA is dominated by white supremacy.
Oh? Which BLACK tribe captured your family and sold you into slavery? And no, black slaves didn't build this country. Capitalists did that.
Slaves were used in the backwater South, and because the South wasn't industrialized it lost the war. Slave based economies always fail against capitalist based economies.
My people suffered too. The losers, like you, whine and sniveling and get drunk and act like idiots.
Assholes, like you, want to flail out like the infants you are and hurt and kill white people who have done you no harm because you are fucked in the head.
" black slaves didn't build this country "
Of course the enslaved Blacks built this country. What kind of weed you smoking?
I didnt see any capitalists out there picking cotton and harvesting sugar cane. We know Blacks built this country because the confederates went to war to keep them there building this country. Hell if it wasn't for Blacks this country would be about half its current size.
No, they didn't. They built the South. The South was an agrarian slave based economy that was crushed by the industrial might of the North.
The vast majority of slaves in the industrial North were the white, indentured servants who you don't seem to count because they were white, so the fact they too were slaves fucks with your whole "white privilege" fantasy.
The book is cute, and panders to low educated, historically ignorant people.
Black people built the south which built the entire US economy. You aint doing shit with industrialization unless you have the raw materials to do something and the money to create industrialization. Dont take my word for it. Read a book on it. The one I posted is just one of hundreds.
A laughable assertion. The slave based economy of the South was so backward that they couldn't equip their army for the Civil War.
The South did nothing to help the growth of America. That was due to the industrial might of the North which out produced the South by orders of magnitude.
Its only laughable because they were too stupid to equip and supply an army for the Civil War. They had to use the enslaved to build and supply them which I am sure they did their absolute best to do. Doesnt change the fact that the labor of Blacks produced the raw materials that greased the wheels for the US economy in order for the North to have industrial might. You cant possibly believe that all that industry would have occurred without the raw materials. I know youre smarter than that.
“The slavery economy of the US South is deeply tied financially to the North, to Britain, to the point that we can say that people who were buying financial products in these other places were in effect owning slaves, and were extracting money from the labor of enslaved people,”
What's funny is they claim the slavery was tied to the North, but the vast majority of cotton picked by the slaves went to the UK.
So, you could almost make the claim that slavery built the UK, if only it weren't for all of those pesky other industries that made Britain the 2nd most wealthy nation the Earth has ever seen.
I would agree that enslaved Blacks helped to build the UK economy as well. So do you think that cotton that went to the UK was given to them or sold to them by the US thereby enrich the US?

" Northern mills depended on the South for supplies of raw cotton that was then converted into textiles. But this domestic cotton market paled in comparison to the Atlantic market. About 75 percent of the cotton produced in the United States was eventually exported abroad. Exporting at such high volumes made the United States the undisputed world leader in cotton production. Between the years 1820 and 1860, approximately 80 percent of the global cotton supply was produced in the United States. Nearly all the exported cotton was shipped to Great Britain, fueling its burgeoning textile industry and making the powerful British Empire increasingly dependent on American cotton and southern slavery.
