Then you say...

"Further it was precisely the areas which were built up by slavery that were destroyed during the Civil War. Thus negating any advantage gained from slavery."

Sounds like you have a problem with the truth of any advantage provided to whites by the federal government. Typically folks like you say, "get over it next," but never is job interviews, just on message boards.

Probably fake news to you, but how were the advantages of free labor destroyed by the Civil War. Perhaps you take "built this country" literally and are a recent immigrant.

If there were buildings, roads, etc that were built, many of them were destroyed.
I hope you share your opinion in person, loudly and unapologetic with all who will listen. Do not keep your beliefs and perspectives a secret. You deserve to be heard.

In fact, I would love to learn more about history from your perspective. Perhaps you can elaborate or share some literature that I can read at my leisure. Also, I'm curious to hear any opinions you may have on #metoo, or women in technology should you be willing to indulge me.

For your convenience, I quote you below:
