It didn't just stop. There's surely people still alive today that had to use separate bathrooms, go to different schools, not be allowed service in the same restaurants, and got hit with fire hoses and had dogs sicced on them when they dared to protest. They were hanged and dragged behind trucks in our grandparents time and still shot by our own law enforcement with little to no repercussions to this day. Hope that helps op. That's my serious post in GBS for the year.

There were slaves of every color in America back then (and all around the world since it was a system that had been used forever) more white slaves than black slaves too. And the treatment of the black slaves in the USA was a thousand times better than what slaves experienced in South America or the Caribbean Islands. The current standard of living for an African American is far far higher than anything our "people" back in Africa or even other previous slave nations could ever dream of. Yeah we get unfairly treated a lot and that is bad but hey guess what, life isn't fair and there is always someone getting the raw end of the deal.

Sure, the basics are clear but sometimes it feels weird when in a movie someone bursts into a speech about slavery like it was just yesterday, besides there is an entire cultural layer that you take for granted but is murky to say the least to people from other backgrounds. Like commenting about black person's hair - well, I get this one I guess. But there is also some thing about swimming I think? :shrug: Whole bunch of stuff noone can realistically be expected to know. And also there are other races and whatnot.

slavery ends

in some places in the south, slaves outnumber freedmen

to counter the sudden influx of new labor, the south enacts slavery-lite by terrorizing blacks

industrial revolution reaches the gilded age

blacks say gently caress this and move north

to counter the sudden influx of new labor, the north enacts slavery-lite by economically shutting out blacks and segregating them in certain areas

ww2 happens

more blacks say gently caress this and move north

some blacks die for the US, others fight for the war effort

whites come back, get a GI bill, able to buy houses. blacks get red-lined and are forced in rental properties close to cities. economic lines of segregation etched deeper and deeper. wealth over generations is almost non-existent.

if you were born when slavery ended, you'd be about 80 years old at this point.

after the civil rights movement, you can't be arbitrarily turned away from housing, education, jobs, marriage, etc. but that still places you at a huge economic disadvantage because your family has no real wealth to speak of. that means no credit, no history, little education. and now you're thrown into a system with little safety nets and expected to take on huge amounts of debt (with no real collateral to speak of) in order to be successful.

we're essentially 2 long lives away from slavery so i hope that answers your question op.

What i want to know is whether the origin of the word jewellery is related to jews? Is it kind of like a portmanteau of jew and livery, implying that gold and gems are the uniform of jews? we may never know for sure but i'm going to act like its true and spread it around with little regard for the consequences.
