Slavery never ended in the US. It's alive and thriving to this day. They just need to throw a bunch of made up charges at you, so you plead guilty instead to a minor sentence instead of risking spending the rest of your life.
although it is tempting to say let's have a fresh start from today, and we are all equal and all have the same chances, some damage are made across generations (e.g check the wikipedia of Canadian Indian residential school system)
end of slavery in the u.s : 1865
end of racial segregation in the u.s : 1964~1968
gerrymandering : ongoing
this does not seems age/centuries ago to me, and a group(white) definitely profited from this inequality and pass the wealth on their heir, giving them an early advantage in life.
all I am saying, is, invest where the social need is, not based on the color of skin...
