Truths about slavery in the USA
1. SLAVERY WAS AN ANCIENT AND UNIVERSAL INSTITUTION, NOT A DISTINCTIVELY AMERICAN INNOVATION.
2. SLAVERY EXISTED ONLY BRIEFLY, AND IN LIMITED LOCALES, IN THE HISTORY OF THE REPUBLIC – INVOLVING ONLY A TINY PERCENTAGE OF THE ANCESTORS OF TODAY’S AMERICANS
3. THOUGH BRUTAL, SLAVERY WASN’T GENOCIDAL: LIVE SLAVES WERE VALUABLE BUT DEAD CAPTIVES BROUGHT NO PROFIT.
4. IT’S NOT TRUE THAT THE U.S. BECAME A WEALTHY NATION THROUGH THE ABUSE OF SLAVE LABOR: THE MOST PROSPEROUS STATES IN THE COUNTRY WERE THOSE THAT FIRST FREED THEIR SLAVES.
5. WHILE AMERICA DESERVES NO UNIQUE BLAME FOR THE EXISTENCE OF SLAVERY, THE UNITED STATES MERITS SPECIAL CREDIT FOR ITS RAPID ABOLITION
6. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT TODAY’S AFRICAN-AMERICANS WOULD BE BETTER OFF IF THEIR ANCESTORS HAD REMAINED BEHIND IN AFRICA.

Why did Booth have to go and fuck everything up before Lincoln could hand out free boat rides.
>>135578876
Lincoln only ever supported voluntary emigration to Africa, and he abandoned that position mid-way through the Civil War, when he realized ex-slaves didn't want it.

Blacks in the USA were doing better in the USA while under Jim Crowe laws than they are doing today.
Ever heard of black wall street?
They went from a literacy rate of less than 10% to over ninety percent in one generation.
They had less single mother house holds than white people.
Welfare programs destroyed black america

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm sure blacks would be doing much better had Jim Crow never existed.
>Ever heard of black wall street?
Didn't a bunch of rednecks burn that down?
>They went from a literacy rate of less than 10% to over ninety percent in one generation.

That's shitty of them. I'm more interested in domestic racial issues.
>>135580211
One generation after slavery was banned they increased their literacy rate to 90%.
They did well despite Jim Crow laws not because of it.

Okay, and?

Are we just going to ignore this? You contradicted yourself in your first two points.

>Blacks in the USA were doing better in the USA while under Jim Crowe laws than they are doing today.
Niggers are literally subhuman and need very strict laws to keep their animalistic instincts under control. They were better behaved when they knew we would hang them. They were better motived when they knew we would let them starve to death. Black students were more attentive in class when they knew they could get their asses beaten by their teachers, and when there weren't white girls beside them for them to harass.
>They went from a literacy rate of less than 10% to over ninety percent in one generation.
Take that with a grain of salt. First of all, that was OUR accomplishment, not theirs. No niggers in the history of the world ever developed written language (or the wheel). Second, because they are inferiors, our standards for them have always been low Most of the "literate" niggers even today aren't really literate by the standards a reasonable person would hold them to.

Pretending evolved racial intelligence differences aren't equal.
