I've said in multiple posts that slavery is not the proximate cause of the disparities we see today.  Redlining had the bigger impact.

I owe no one. Period.

If you're white and if your parents gave you any money to help you get started as an adult, you probably didn't have "anything to do with it" but they and you did benefit.
