| Alright, I'll give the child a sample of what real information and truth looks like: In 1870:
20.1% of US blacks could read and write
80% of US whites
15% of people in russia In Robert Evans Jr paper “The Economics of American Negro Slavery", he calculated that blacks got 80-90% of what they produced, after expenses, on average. While blacks are today the same height if not slightly shorter than whites, during the slavery era they were taller than all whites except for Swedes and English aristocrats. Throw your "history" books away, child. By 1880 and until 1940: 70% of black families had both parents co-residing. In 2011 37% of blacks lived in two-parent households, while 75% of whites did. That's a regression from slavery years, genius. Your homework is to find work by recent geniuses contemplating how the US would have developed differently had slavery never come to America. I also encourage to entirely drop this "exploitation of minorities" nonsense. It is not a factor in explaining the success of rich people, nor is it a factor in explaining country differences.
