When it comes to what's best for Black People, it's time for White People to mind their business

213. The overwhelming majority

of Europeans who came to North America.a couldn't have cared less about POC. They came for the land and to get the hell out of Europe where most of them starved most of the time. Most were poor. Nearly half were indentured and 4 out of 10 didn't survive the experience. Those who did moved west. They had little other choice. When the landed aristocracy determined it was cheaper to use slaves, they switched to Africans and participated in the abomination of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade that had already been in existence of more than a century. It was the rich who exploited both black and white then just like now. There is no monolithic racial conspiracy of poor but privileged whites to oppress POC and never has been. That's just another variant on the divide and conquer thinking that's been used to pit poor whites against poor blacks since the day the first slave ship arrived in 1607 and began replacing indentured servitude.
