The system started with slavery, but counting 3/5 of each slave as part of the population for the benefit of that state's slave owning white landowners. Then we fucked over the native people repeatedly for centuries. We just pretended to like immigrants for a while to abuse their cheap labor. The glory days post WWII were just for middle class whites.
The country has been fucked up since the founding.
Thank you.
I'm fucking disgusted that we're at a place where it's still normal to celebrate these old white degenerate slave owning religious fucks that only had freedom because they took it violently. THEIR hard earned freedom, at no cost to themselves other than time and money. Bring your bitches and slaves, clear out the savages, import subhuman livetock to do the work and suffering for you and, BOOM! You've got white feeedom, and it's finger lickin' good.
It was a business then just like now. These were the CEOs of their time who made this beautiful place into a playground for white colonists (dangerous fucking immigrants) like so much of the world. Their white relatives are still reaping the benefits like a motherfucker, consciously oblivious that blacks and others are still in slavery. Out of sight out of mind let's go to Starbucks. My white relatives owned hundreds of acres up until I was a teenager. I was proud of that until I grew up and understood why they had that land in the first place.
And it's hard to overstate that the post WW2 golden age came as a result as the rest of the entire world being devastated by war, while the US industry was absolutely untouched and immediately ready to pivot from war time demand to supplying the world.
That ain't gonna happen again.
