ofc
but like... the "core" is what I'm discussing
for example, in the late 1700s/early 1800s
Most abolitionists would've been in favor of reparations to slave owners
By the time the civil war rolled around, well...
because the economy of the south was built on top of it (which actually made the south poorer, but w/e)
in the long run poorer... Not really at the time
I know
It became poorer as industrialization really took off... Which was a result of sharecropping, which accounts for many inequalities between African Americans and whites even to this day
"White supremacy" sounds too expensive for it to be reasonably considered
I don't know anyone who wants to genocide minorities except for some larpy teenagers I've seen on discord
Oh, please, sharecropping isn't a sufficient explanation
I know what sharecropping is, it was a essentially a long running scam
a black family agreed to work on a farm/plantation/w.e.
More, "was forced to work on a farm/plantation/whatever in order to survive"
and the family in charge would try to scam them out of money so they would stay there
Slaves had no resources.
The freedman's bureau failed miserably.
Nobody is disagreeing with you
okay?
I'm disagreeing with your wording
"agreed" makes it sound voluntary - as if only gullible saps were tricked into it
Which isn't the case
I didn't realize you thought that way about black people
nevermind, I tried to make a joke at the expense of your wording, but it didn't work
Life for Asian immigrants wasn't great either
Many were brought over to work on railroads in deadly conditions for jack shit
working with dynamite, etc
Most sharecroppers themselves were not well off either
iirc
A majority of said railroad workers traveled back to their homelands eventually (provided they survived)
Asian immigrants today also come from places in far worse conditions than what US blacks live in
Many*
The Vietnamese, for instance
Are probably the best example
Had a Vietnamese friend in high school. One of the most chillest dudes i ever met
Vietnam is a good case study in race realism tbh
Hell
North Korea is an almost even better example
Google says its "register to vote day" what's that about?
It's registering time
