All of that is well and good but my privileged white arse is one generation from a sharecropper. My grandfather was a sharecropper with a 3rd grade education and when he list the little place he had to farm for shares in the depression he worked three jobs until he could afford to buy a run down gas station all while raising 3 kids and feeding them and my grandma. So forgive me if I don't agree with you.

my point being that's your families fault lol. Your family had a choice and decided that out of all the possibilities, being sharecroppers were the best thing for your family. My family on the other hand was forced into it. I'm not saying you should be the president of the united states but your family tree has had probably over 1500 years to get it right, mine has had 1/10th of that time.



and your post is a red herring in general. I never said there was anything wrong with sharecropping. I'm simply stating it's unrealistic for an entire race of people to go from Kunti Kante to Bank of America CEOs in 5 generations
