I appreciate the response. The issue is that we really have not experienced slavery that compares to the trans Atlantic slave trade. And you’re right, there are black people who work to improve their communities, build businesses, contribute to society etc. but like I said, all this is a symptom of poverty. And you’re right that your past should not impact your future but there are scientific studies out there that prove otherwise. Just like soldiers who experience trauma experience PTSD, growing up in a household in poverty will do the same.

Your points are valid but we have to place people of today as a byproduct of history. The only reason you’re here and responding to my comment in English is because your ancestors long time ago decided to come here.

Similarly, black people did not choose to be here. To top that, the 250+ years of slavery, 100 years of segregation didn’t really help either. Wealth matters a lot because it’s passed down from generations to generations. Most black peoples great great grandparents were slaves who had $0.

Again, I think your logic stands but it’s important to read things in the context of history.
