read this one recently 'Black Rednecks and White Liberals' by Thomas Sowell. the thesis of the book is black hood culture is holding back the citizens who practice it and as such, Nigerians, Ghanians and even descendants of slaves from the west Indies come over here and thrive over native born blacks. he says that there was a white trash Scottish culture in northern England, circa 1600s that went away after that country industrialized but the exported slaves/indentured servants brought it to the American south. we know them today as rednecks. so those rednecks lived in close quarters w/ their black coworkers and pawned off their bad culture on them.
i'm a product of it too, great energy for frolic but lazy at work. prone to alcoholism. braggadocia. it was really eye opening.
the Irish were treated horribly too, he talks about their oppression a bit.
there's another chapter comparing jews to other merchant ethnic groups around the world.
Germany and it's brief collective loosing their shit.
and one about how slavery existed all over the world but once the English/Americans got it in thier head that it was immoral, they ended it in the states and then everywhere else except interior Africa because one didn't simply go deep into Africa in those days [diseases].
Arab slavery was particulary gory, they abducted whites and blacks equally and castrated their slaves to create eunuchs. Jews from the north [Newport RI] financed a lot of the slave ships but if you're a northern white, chances are you descended from the brave men who ended slavery.
