It is incredible that over 150 years after its final abolition, slavery continues to impact race relations in America. No one currently alive in America was ever a slave in the United States. The closest connection that can be made is that there are probably some very elderly persons who, as young children, might have a met a former slave who had lived a very long life.
The point isn’t to speculate on such matters, but to emphasize that no one alive today was directly impacted by the practice of slavery in America. Racially discriminatory practices, yes. Slavery, no.
We cannot change the past. But, we can look at history, try to learn something, and resolve to do much better. Part of that involves challenging prevailing ideas that might not be accurate.

A few of them do. Most of them haven’t made it past the 4th grade. Daddy’s in prison for being a thug. Guess what. They will be too. No brains. Only thing they care about is slinging dope and making kids they don’t support
The blacks brought the slaves over from Africa
HE WAS A BLACK MAN!!!!!!!!
Irish were slaves. They were just stolen, kidnapped, and abducted by the British instead of being bought like African slaves were from native African tribes. That made us cheaper. More expendable. And you really don’t get much whiter than Irish. So here you have some of the whitest people in history being treated worse than blacks, but not quite as bad as the Jews in Egypt. You know why you don’t hear Jews and Irish$#%&!@*about it all the time? Because we’re not pussies. That’s why.
Yes
I totally just stole this meme from you.
