I've never owned a person(slave of any race) and don't know of anyone that has or ever will and to be put into position to keep on hearing about it time after time after time leaves a bad taste in many peoples mouth along with mine. So if it's equality (anyone) seeks, not gonna happen, nothing is ever equal.

A country can’t be founded on freedom when there was entire group of people enslaved based on race and race alone. Racism predates the country and is a building block of the nation. To try to paint it in any other light is disingenuous and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of 42 million African American people living in this nation. I really can’t understand how the “I never owned a slave” thing is still a talking point. Nobody said you did. I didn’t even imply somebody in your ancestry did, but that doesn’t negate the fact that a socioeconomic hierarchy built on race was created before this nation even declared for independence. If you can’t even admit the truth about what the country was really founded on then it truly is no hope for the future of America.
