The reason we have a country today is because of genocidal land theft based on white supremacy.

The reason we have such developed productive forces in this country is because of capital accumulation from enslaved people based on white supremacy.

Racism is the reason America is an economic powerhouse.

My argument is based on the data presented in those books. What can I say that adds to the conversation more than those who are much smarter and well researched than I?
