1 - Wrong. There were only slaves in the agricultural southern states. The northern states had a capitalist economy
2 - Wrong. I didn't hear it mentioned in the recent campaign. If you can cite any law in any jurisdiction keeping minorities down, please post such.
3 - Wrong. (Altho it may be true as long as the poverty and racism pimps like Jesse, Al, and the King clan find it financially advantageous to promote victimism.) If Bill Cosby's message could get out, who knows how much progress could be achieved quickly.
Our Vietnamese, Chinese, Cuban, and Korean friends have shown how hard work, sticking together, and positive goals - not victimization - leads to success.
