[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old Southern money = slave holder wealth. In other words, your rich southern ancestors stole the labor of enslaved blacks. It's a pretty simple explanation, but it's not pretty.[/quote] Well, you haven't read the last several posts. Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, eh?[/quote] Ok, even if true, and I'm not totally sold on that, the white/black caste system in the south made it much easier for whites to buy/own land and generally succeed than their black neighbors. Maybe not on the backs of slaves. But, at a much better advantage than black americans. So, don't congratulate yourself (the collective you) at your families self-made wealth. Even if they worked hard for it, they had significant advantages that tilted things in their favor.[/quote]
