One statue in lizard lick north Carolina or a road name change in yeehaw junction florida or louisiana or texas . Out of 1000's of confederate symbols in the south .Are the lives of northern blacks any better?
How about how much the slave trade and shipping built the northeast- liberals should be right on that
anderson cooper massive inheritance is rooted in slavery . cnn documentary upcoming or maybe he will pay it back
wall street was named after - slavery nyc was huge slave trading- I am sure the manhattan media will be right on it or how about all the companies in Manhattan the prospered on the slave trade
maybe leftists will change the name of new york -it was named after a slave trader
lehman brothers ,ivy league schools like brown yale harvard,Brown University – named for the Brown brothers Two were slave traders University Hall was built in part by slave labour.
Fleet Boston – grew out of Providence Bank, founded by one of the Brown brothers , a slave trader who owned slave ships.
JP Morgan Chase – made a fortune from the slave trade.
New York Life – insured slaves. Of its first 1,000 insurance polices, 339 were policies on slaves.
USA Today – its parent company, Gannett, had links to slavery.
On and on. Finding people in american history who werent white supremacists is the real problem
...and they gave it up. The South went to war rather than give up slave ownership.
Gave up what ? the names are still there ? the profits were made . Slavery in agriculture wasn't viable up north with less agriculture . The slave trade was

All about slavery? Right. No mention of Jim Crow laws? Since you want to tell of stories tell us the one where whites obliterated a black town in Florida. An incident where whites killed women and children all based on a lie told by a white woman about being raped by a black man. It took what?b 70 years before the state made reparations to the survivors?

So you do not want to tell that story? Don't blame you, doesn't fit your agenda.
Wtf are you talking about , of course there were race riots and racism in the south . But you don't want to talk about race riots up north huh. Like the NYC draft riots ,one of the largest civil and racial insurrection in American history. Over 100 dead , thousands injured

Doesn't fit your agenda I guess
Oh no. Not riots. Not even close. A white posse eradicated a back town. You want to cite some esoteric incident where a back may have owned a black slave to gloss over massive racism purported over decades. And it does not matter whether that occurred in the north or the south. Both are wrong and despicable.
If a town decides to take down a statue and you do not like it then either move or run for office. It is called democracy,
Don't forget the Tulsa race riots, where many white residents of Tulsa burned down all of the black-owned businesses and murdered people. Mainly because they were jealous (that area of Tulsa was known as "Black Wall Street" and was very successful).
You can play this "whatabout, whatabout" all day long...in the end, America has a lot to atone for...Dred Scott Decision (awful), Jim Crow (awful), lynchings, Segregation (awful)...and that's not even including the nation's original sin of wiping out indigenous people.
