[quote=Anonymous][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.  [b]All of that went poof in 1865.  [/b]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]

No, it did not. And if you're going to make such an outlandish, uneducated opinion, you need to source it.

I like how you do the southern deb thing of trying sweetly to imply it was those damn Yankees that stole your granddaddy's family fortune. Get a book and learn: the entire US economy - North and South - benefited enormously from the unpaid, enforced labor of Africans and their descendants. [/quote]
