> "Only" 300.000 black people have been brought to US as slaves. Less than 5% of American families owned slaves.
That's a really odd point to make. From Wikipedia:
"In South Carolina in 1720, about 65% of the population consisted of enslaved people... The number of enslaved people in the US grew rapidly, reaching 4 million by the 1860 Census."
Slavery was horrible. And American people fought a bloody war so it could be abolished.
All I am doing is I am setting some perspective. As some people on the left engage in fallacy that every single white person owes them something because some of their ancestors may have been slaves.
Slave population in 1860 was 12%, 65% was for a single state, that was an outlier.
This breaks the HN guidelines. Personal attacks are not allowed here, no matter how wrong someone else is. Instead, please (re)-read the site guidelines and post civilly and substantively, or not at all.
