racism
The United States of America was established as a white society, founded upon the near genocide of another race and then the enslavement of yet another. This is simply a historical statement of fact. The historical record of how white Europeans conquered North America by destroying the native population and how they then built their new nation's economy on the backs of kidnapped Africans who had been turned into chattel are facts that can hardly be denied. However, before I enlighten you about racism in America I would like to clarify some negative myths that have been in circulation and stated about Africans before slavery. In the 15th (and well into the16th) centuries, the average African was better off than the average European. Africans produced more steel, more textiles and more gold than Europeans. They produced more art an ornaments, and their literature -while still largely oral (except in Islamic controlled regions) – was thriving at a time when Europe was still struggling to emerge from the darkest age of its medieval period, the 14th century.

Welfare is a handout received from the government, so technically Corporate America is also the recipient of Welfare. I am informing you of these facts on the bases of enlightening and reminding White and Black America racism has not left the building she is still alive and singing. I also do not wish the reader become more or less bias toward any race neither. I am not a racist. I can state in all sincerity that I wish nothing but freedom, justice and equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. Africans was in seagoing technology, but when looking at inland trade -the Africans possessed a greater and more dynamic system of trade than the Europeans of the early 15th century. West Africans, trading across the continent w
