So let's talk about it. Do you truly believe the idea that the United States being one of the last western civilizations to support and protect institutional slavery doesn't have an impact on race relations to this day? The author says, "Well everyone else did it too." as a way of explaining away the horrors of slavery and indentured servitude, as if that somehow makes it alright.
What is shocking is the author pointing out how good black families have it here today, as opposed to their African counterparts and ties that in to the opportunity slavery allowed their people to migrate. Do you truly believe that black people having a higher standard of living today makes slavery an acceptable sin?
Lastly, tying in single motherhood amung black families to welfare programs is disgusting. Your support of the idea that black men feel they can abandon their families due to social safety nets is morally repugnant and false.
