Inequity is still found in churches, music, healthcare, & traffic. Churches remain segregated. Artists are stolen from and award shows classify artists of color into R&B categories. Healthcare has never covered the working class fairly and Black people are more likely to be misdiagnosed & mistreated. Traffic's a victim of redlining as racist planners and suburbanites avoided public transit to further segregate

-Self-defense-reconstruction lasted 10 years then progress was undone. Efforts to ask for equality were met with white violence "w/o fear of punishment, and w/o loss of reputation" - Ulysses Grant. Lynchings & property destruction made self-defense dangerous and:
-no inheritence/economic moves
Now we created a rhetoric that it is Black people that are dangerous leading to:
-war on poverty/prejudiced punishment

Slavery has affected:
- capitalism - Shaped the constitution by giving it devotion to individual property rights, and the practice of extracting maximum labor effort leading to a widening income gap and weak unions
- politics - framework of fear of demographic replacement and threats to privilege and hierarchy
- self-defense - it is often the argument of people that deny racism still exists bc "slavery is over"...

Slavery created the race caste system to make slavery inheritable. This provoked rape to add to a free labor supply. This damaged Black mothers' reputation until now blaming "the consequent failure of Black people to succeed in America"
Roughly 3 million people were shipped through the Middle Passage, which 20% wouldnt live through, largely "to feed demand for a sweetener" (farming sugar)
