[quote=Anonymous][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] You're addressing my response with this. Nobody's arguing with it. It's the notion that everyone's trust fund in the south is slavery money that is the problem. All of that went poof in 1865. I don't have data, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's northern trust funds tied to it though. We'd need a whole new thread....[/quote]
