I think you should try to think for yourself. It's kind of unfair that you answer with only are fourth of the words. ;-)

Sometimes I absorb, sometimes I deliver, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18380654

You made an assertion, I'm curious how you will back it up, if at all.

The stage is yours.

Alright ;) My argument is purely based on observing the past and the present. Georgia has a history of slavery, one might argue the state has his wealth build on that, the peach being the symbol of it. Virtually all of the slaves had African American heritage and self-speaking low income.

Of course slavery has become illegal, segregation rules as well. But obviously you cannot make the past disappear instantly. Nowadays there are areas in which there are only black people living, those areas are unfortunately poor and large. Presumably a lot of crime happens there, which should also be no surprise because the area is so poor. People get imprisoned, even worse, sometimes the police has a negative bias towards black people.

So yes, and nowadays the state endorses putting the people back on the field? These seems almost insulting to me. Probably it's easy for me to think like this, I don't live in the U.S. but on the other hand probably all developed nations have a archaic past. It's one thing to deal with it and another thing to pretend it didn't happen.
