On a side note, are there really people who think slaves built this country? And why do people keep ignoring the fact that many of the slaves brought from Africa were already slaves in Africa?

Having free labor after an initial cost certainly didn't hurt the creation of large scale agriculture in the U.S.
Don't quite get how purchasing someone who was already enslaved makes any difference but you may be able to elaborate on the point.

I don't even know why slavery is any discussion in the modern age.

Slavery built the old agricultural south but had no bearing on the industrial north
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

There's no political or racial gain by acknowledging that other races kept slaves including blacks, arabs and American Indians.

Yeah that whole thing never really died out for them. They have been keeping slaves since old testament times.

That was built by shitty wages paid to semi literate Southerners and dirt poor European immigrants.
Slavery was common practice all over the world. So was the draft.

Shitty wages paid to immigrants is an American institution. They were free to not work, weren't they?

Slave owners in the south were a minority. And a lot of slave owners bolstered their work force with poor whites

When I hear people talk about reparations I ask them if American Indians and the Irish should be given reparations as well as blacks. I usually get blank stares.
Regardless of race, if you were in the Northwest Territory (prior to states being carved out) you could be conscripted to build roads. Which would have been very low paying involuntary servitude. If you can prove that one of your ancestors was consripted to build roads in the NorthWest Territory, and you as for repartations - or at least wage reparations comparable to current union prevailing wages?

‘I Hate Everything About This Country’: Rapper Reveals She Hates ‘Fat White Americans’ and ‘Racist Conservative White People’
by Brooke Bosca | Top Right News
If you or your family buy the albums of the rapper/hip hop artist Azealia Banks — you might want to go ahead and stop.
Banks said she hates “fat white Americans” and believes that those who live in middle America are“these racist conservative white people who live on their farms,”according to a recent interview she did with Playboy magazine.Banks, 23, also slammed Christians, calling the worship of Jesus Christ “unnatural.”
When asked if she wants to leave the U.S., the rapper said “Yes!” and proceeded to explain her reasons.
“I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans,”.“All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms.”Banks, who was raised in New York City, continued,“Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma — that’s really America.”
Banks also spoke about race — a topic she has been vocal about in the past, that she is owed reparations. Later on in the interview, though, she addressed the topic again, calling for more respect for African Americans.
“Black people need reparations for building this country, and we deserve way more f***ing credit and respect,”she said.The rapper also addressed the “generational effects of Jim Crow and poverty,” claiming that they continue to pose societal problems.
“As long as I have my money, I’m getting the f*** out of here and I’m gonna leave y’all to your own devices,” Banks said.Discussing what she believes happens when people are taken from their land and separated from their culture, Banks noted that there are things that are “unnatural” for her to partake in.“When you rip a people from their land, from their customs, from their culture — there’s still a piece of me that knows I’m not supposed to be speaking English, I’m not supposed to be worshipping Jesus Christ,” she said. “All this s**t is unnatural to me.”Read more about the interview here.
Back in November, Banks made it clear that she was anything but happy over the grand jury’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot 18-year-old Michael Brown.
She tweeted at the time that she hates “when these police violence things happen,” saying in a subsequent message that, though it’s “so f***ed up,” it makes her feel “such a general hatred for all straight white men.”

In people's own personal experiences, how prevalent do you think this hatred is?
