Yep.Slavery started in the colonies in 1619...
Chattel slavery is instituted by 1749...
From 1776 (when the USA came into existence) to 1865 Blacks are considered property...
With some starts and stops between 1865 and 1896 Jim Crow segregation laws form...
They last from 1896 to 1965 when segregation laws were struck down...
The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA corporation has existed 245 years...
of that,189 of them, the country was decidedly, historically, and undisputedly racist. And people think that 189 years of racist culture and practice in our society has been eradicated in the last 56 years???
If the life of America was an hour on a clock.. it's only been kinda sorta not racist for like the LAST 10 minutes of that hour.
And the sacking of Black American towns was - State sanctioned terrorism.
