> Any economic gains from slavery were more than wiped out by the civil war.

Does that mean white Americans and Black Americans were on economically equal after the civil war?

Where are you going with this line of questioning?

They aren’t economically equal now in 2020.

He's saying that if the economic gains where wiped out, then blacks and whites should have had equal economic standing after the war. But we all know that didn't happen, which is why he posed that question.
