Your claims are false, at times incoherent, and other times possibly contradictory.
1. As I wrote above, more non-melanized people were held as slaves in North Africa than melanized folks were in North America. Your response was incoherent; the part I could make out never addressed my point.
2. You seemed to concede that you took the number 550 out of your nether quarters. At least that.
3. As MADx Games demonstrated above, your story about historical employment rate was without basis, instead repeating racial propaganda.
4. You never addressed the crucial point about marriage rates. Only a tiny percentage of inner city melanized folks have their fathers active in their lives. Kids born to teenage moms with no dad around tend to do poorly in life, irrelevant of melanin levels. Thank your beloved Democrat Party for incentivizing behavior detrimental to society.
5. Your new immigrant story is beautiful, but not at all based upon facts. The poorest immigrants living in NYC slums and working menial jobs for 18 hours a day get their kids into Stuyvesant. Or do you really believe that all those Pakistani or Bangladeshi immigrant couples are wealthier than the average melanized American?
6. Where you most expose your own weakness for leftist fallacies is with your rants about the criminal justice system, which is Alex Jones-like idiocy. "They admitted" that drug sentencing laws are "a ploy to imprison black people." Talk about absurdity. There was no such ploy, and certainly no one "admitted" to it.
Cocaine was used socially by doctors and lawyers in the late 1970s and early 1980s; your average person couldn't afford it. The epidemic of ruined lives began with the advent of crack cocaine, which made it affordable to all, and disproportionately affected the inner city. Desperate to save their own, melanized community leaders demanded that politicians change the sentencing given crack dealers, and laws were then enacted to that effect in bipartisan fashion.
Unfortunately, you continued down crazy path by going on about the prison industry being lucrative and therefore the system feeding it with innocent melanized folks. That is Farrakhan-style craziness, and backed by precisely zero evidence.
7. Speaking of which, and as partially noted by MADx Games above, your description of CRT is wildly off base. CRT starts out by assuming that everything has its basis in racism, then looks for evidence to prove its point. Using such feeble methods, anyone can "prove" anything, but basic intellectual rigor laughs at such attempts. Basic rule: Correlation does not imply causation. There are many reasons for current disparities on average, none of which is racist policies against the melanized. In fact, as amply demonstrated by the academic Heather Mac Donald, being melanized is an advantage when it comes to dealing with law enforcement, getting into college, applying for employment, and virtually every other measurable statistic.

Trying to read through your semi-literate, factually false rants is getting quite tiresome. Just a few points in response (not in any particular order), as I've already wasted far too much time considering your allergy to facts:
1. Your claim that slavery began in 1619 is stunningly ignorant.
2. No, you never admitted you were wrong about "550 years". You failed to defend the claim so I needled you about it. You are wrong about literally everything, yet you are still here flailing about.
3. Your story about employment rates assumes that statisticians are as dumb as you are. Anyone who has graduated JHS understands that 10% of one million is a larger absolute number than 10% of one thousand. You just threw out a wild response because the facts show that a higher percentage of melanized folks were employed than were non-melanized, and the facts don't fit your narrative.
4. Speaking of items you made up... In response to my point that most inner city melanized fathers are not involved in their children's lives, you came up with four remarkable rejoinders:
A. A study about whether incomes among husband and wives predict divorce, which you falsely and bizarrely decided shows that welfare for baby mommas increases the marriage rate, a rather wild claim backed by no studies and unrelated to this one,
B. You linked to a study of fathers which included no racial breakdown whatsoever, and which relied upon self-reported surveys of fathers' claimed level of involvement with their children, despite its utter irrelevance, as well as its total unreliability as it relies upon self-reporting,
C. Confused what I wrote about inner city fathers with melanized folks overall, apparently unaware that most melanized families are middle class or above, and
D. Accused me of racism, naturally.
I mean, are you freaking kidding me? Do you even read my comments? Do you read yours? Do you even glance at the links you include before sending them?
5. The article which you used as basis for your false claim that the war on drugs was only an excuse to lock up melanized folks and that "they...even admitted to it"? The Harper's article to which you linked does not that say that at all. John Erlichman, like his boss, was both a creep and a quack, and yet even he did not say what you claimed he said. Even if he had, that would hardly be a "they", that would be a "Richard Nixon". But that is not what Erlichman said, and anyway Nixon resigned in 1974, years before crack cocaine was invented. Do you not understand how you damage your own credibility by repeatedly proving yourself wrong?
6. I explained CRT, and once again, you can't handle the truth. That point is clear.
7. Your own many links, most of which I clicked on, either ignore or overtly disprove your own claims in regards to the economic backgrounds of immigrants. They come poor and work hard, and their kids are studious and become successful. That option is open to everyone.
8. YT lays a heavily censorial hand on my comments, forcing me to use oddball phraseology (e.g. "melanized"), and also automatically deleting any comments in which I provide a link. Feel free to Google for yourself an article by the respected academic Heather Mac Donald entitled "Are We All Unconscious Racists?". While you are at it, feel free to Google the official numbers on "Statista", under
"people shot to death by US police by race ". Being melanized is an advantage when it comes to dealing with law enforcement, college admissions, applying for employment, and every other measurable statistic.
Please learn the facts instead of just banging out semi-coherent, false, angry responses.
