I’m not asking for extra help nor compensation. When the North beat the south the newly established black American class was given things by the government which was forcibly taken away after they killed Lincoln. I’m only asking for what is owed. 

And No, American slavery started because Europeans were looking to acquire land and build wealth. First, indigenous people were used for the settlements but their immune systems weren’t equipped.  Africans had been around Europeans for years so the Catholic Church suggested Africans be used to help settle the new colonies. 

Race by definition is a competition. The black American people were intentionally left out of the US free market for as long as possible. 

Look at Kamala Harris and even Obama… the symbol of who they are and what they represent was used to manipulate American emotions into voting against themselves. Neither of them grew up black but politically it was easier to push that agenda for votes than it was to actually stand behind someone who’d make it better for the black community… those people tend to end up dead. Trumps done a lot for black people and they tried to kill him. Look at Lincoln and JFK. 

It seems like the argument would circle but with education maybe things can change. It’s not an easy conversation to have but having it is progress 🌻🫶🏽🫂
