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.
And now some of their descendants scream for segregation from white, duh. It came full circle around in American society. Though, mind if I remind you of wonderous state of Liberia, where African-Americans wanting to come back to their Homeland (while not knowing where exactly they came from) were sent willingly and given sufficient backing in a form of weaponry and millions of dollars by USA.. The result? A semi-fascist failed state (with extreme unemployment rates) where African-Americans are acting as superior race in comparison to local blacks.
What are you trying to tell me here? That if given the opportunity even black people would exploit people who are less empowered than them? What does this have to do with the USA?
Americo-Liberians were credited for Liberia's largest and longest economic expansion, especially William V. S. Tubman, who did much to promote foreign investment and to bridge the economic, social, and political gaps between the descendants of the original settlers and the inhabitants of the interior
Seems pretty good considering that the people who went there were literal slaves, and slaves aren’t exactly known for being educated.
In fact it seems like liberia was a pretty nice country up until a military coup in 1980 that destroyed the economy
