that the founding fathers and subsequent leadership had to construct a system that gave them a 300 plus year head start here in the US? If you count the years of enslavement of Blacks. The laws against Blacks reading. The Vagrancy laws. The Jim Crow laws. etc etc arent you kind of pissed off that your white leadership thought so very very little of your ability to succeed on a level playing field?
Plenty teams come back being down multiple points
Blacks just don't have the juice

The game we're playing whites were spotted a 300 point lead, the refs are cheating for the whites, and the whites are still whining.
If Blacks didnt have the juice why did you need a head start?
You mean Blacks came from Africa not knowing how to read? Why is that?

You do realize they didnt speak or read english in Africa and they had their own languages right?
But.....
African states played a role in the slave trade, and slavery was a common practice among
Sub Saharan Africans before the involvement of the
Arabs,
Berbers and
Europeans. There were three types: those who were slaves through conquest, those who were slaves due to unpaid debts, or those whose parents gave them as slaves to tribal chiefs. Chieftains would barter their slaves to Arab, Berber, Ottoman or European buyers for rum, spices, cloth or other goods.
[44] Selling captives or prisoners was commonly practiced among Africans, Turks, Berbers and Arabs during that era. However, as the Atlantic slave trade increased its demand, local systems which primarily serviced indentured servitude expanded. European slave trading as a result was the most pivotal change in the social, economic, cultural, spiritual, religious, political dynamics of the concept of slave trading. It ultimately undermined local economies and political stability as villages' vital labour forces were shipped overseas as slave raids and civil wars became commonplace. Crimes which were previously punishable by some other means became punishable by enslavement.

The inspection and sale of a slave
Before the arrival of the
Portuguese, slavery pre-existed in
Kingdom of Kongo. Despite its establishment within his kingdom,
Afonso I of Kongo believed that the slave trade should be subject to Kongo law. When he suspected the Portuguese of receiving illegally enslaved persons to sell, he wrote letters to the King
João III of Portugal in 1526 imploring him to put a stop to the practice.

The kings of
Dahomey sold their
war captives into transatlantic slavery, who otherwise may have been killed in a ceremony known as the
Annual Customs. As one of West Africa's principal slave states, Dahomey became extremely unpopular with neighbouring peoples.
[47][48][49] Like the
Bambara Empireto the east, the
Khasso kingdoms depended heavily on the
slave trade for their economy. A family's status was indicated by the number of slaves it owned, leading to wars for the sole purpose of taking more captives. This trade led the Khasso into increasing contact with the European settlements of Africa's west coast, particularly the
French.
[50] Benin grew increasingly rich during the 16th and 17th centuries on the slave trade with Europe; slaves from enemy states of the interior were sold, and carried to the Americas in
Dutch and
Portuguese ships. The Bight of Benin's shore soon came to be known as the "Slave Coast".

Dahomey said:
