You are obviously missing the entire point. Today's African-American who is trapped in poverty is no better off ECONOMICALLY than a slave was. I qualified my statement when I stated that of course they don't experience the brutality of slavery. Next time try to read to understand rather than read to react. As for your admonition not to write this kind of "stuff," I will write what I like, thank you . You are free to scroll past, ignore, or block as you see fit. Have a nice day.
