I either saw this on a tee shirt, or read about it. Anyway, its a great statement, because it implies that slavery was bad, but also implies that if slavery hadn't existed there wouldn't be black people in the US. So, its kind of hard for your standard issue liberal to take issue with the statement, because if he says that "we should have picked our own cotton" is bad in that it would mean less blacks in the US today, he is implying that slavery was a neccessary evil on the road to a non-white Brazilified US.
There were Whites that picked the cotton there just weren't enough of them and the Aboriginal slaves died off due to small pox. I have often wondered what major North American cities would be like if lower class ******** weren't running amok in the ghetto areas of the cities. Many of these neighbourhoods were rough neighbourhoods when White immigrants lived in them. But the violence has gone to a whole new level now.
I looked up the 1940 census for people 14 and older:NYC was only about 5.5% black.It was at least 93% white.30% of the population was foreign born white. That is less than some suburbs on my area now and many of the people in my suburbs are foreign born non-whites. In 2000 it'a only 35% non-hispanic white and 25% black.
The black move to the northern cities has really damaged those cities. Add in the Hispanic population and then it's really bad. Imagine Ny,Chicago,Detroit,Philly as almost all white. You would have a livable city.
