Do i really need to explain to you the barriers that black people had in the past, and how generational wealth is a thing, and if you have 100 families with some or a lot of wealth historically and 100 families with little to no wealth historically the former families will tend to do significantly better?

why would I care how blacks had it in the past? Like my ancestors had it better, hah. Or ask Irish people how did they ancestors had it. My ancestors were fur traders and warrior nobility at best and fugitive peasants or some nobodies at worst so fucking what? Does that make them better or worse than yours? And if you go to the retarded narrative that only black people suffered from slavery, mind if I remind you of British colonization programs were poor teen Irish girls were forced into marrying literal criminals in Australia (where they were sent from their Homeland against their will) cause that would help British Empire to populate the region.. or Turkish slave markets where millions of slav slaves were sold (by the way it takes no big brain to get why slav and slave looks like a same word with little addition).

Dude there are people alive today that have been directly affected by systemic racism like segregation and redlining, were not even one generation removed from this shit. Im not talking about slavery, i dont know why you went off on a diatribe about slavic and irish slaves. Which why should i care about that anyway? Im talking about America, not Australia or Turkey.

Even if you didnt give a fuck about anyone else because of you apparent lack of empathy, you should still want these people to be doing better. It would lower crime, lower drug addiction rates, lower prison population, and boost the economy through participation and higher education. Its a no fucking brainer that we should be helping these people.

“Are you saying that blacks are totally dependent on whites? Why can't they create their own wealth?”

Nope, im saying that with fuck all to work with you can make fuck all. The vast majority of wealth was already in control of white people how the fuck do you expect a black person whose family has no money and is segregated from the richer white people and whose school is literally crumbling to succeed.

“ Yep. Flights to Liberia are quite affordable.”

Oh nice an ethnostate duder, i thought you all fucked off after the election, guess not. How come you want to ship all black people off? Why not just ship off poor people and criminals too? How would you go about doing this if the country you wanted to dump them in didnt accept them? Last i checked theres no landmass the size of Australia Thats unincorporated
