99% of people in the US are descendents of ex-slaves. Don't imagine you don't have that legacy in your genes and culture too.

By great great father was bought from an orphanage in the 1910s by a minister so he could stick him down the mines and take his wages. I'd like to say I don't see the mark of that harsh world on the personalities and instincts of my family but its simply not the case.

I 100% believe black people do have that as a problem but so do most other people from lower class stock. At the end of the day in a tough world its the tough, it was the selfish people who survived and that does now jar with the nice comfortable world of the modern West.

"99% of people in the US are descendants of slaves" is completely laughable unless you are going back to the dawn of man which is equally laughable to include in this argument

It's a good thing that we despise the lower classes for being deplorable today.

I think the descendants of ex-slaves here was meant as a euphemism for blacks (e.g. 13%).
