Mathematically your statement is hard to believe. If 33% of blacks were slaveholders, and even if each black slaveholder had only one slave, that would mean that 66% of all blacks were either slaveholders or belonging to a black slaveholder. So if you factor in the Indians, then less than 30% of blacks were slaves belonging to white slaveholders; very hard to believe. BTW, the bigger goal of the Reparations movement is not just reparations for slavery, but reparations for property and economic losses during the Jim Crow period from 1870 to 1980. Much easier to prove since there are better records and many of the offenders and victims are still alive.
Don't try to get too scientific about this. This is not about reparations. It is about getting a dem candidate elected. That's all. The Dems have a long history of taking minorities down off the shelf and using them to get elected and then putting them back up there again until the next election. To remain on the Dem Plantation in the meantime. Okay. I will stop here. And address in the political section if needed. But lets not start worrying about dna calculations just yet and whether a black person- such as Kamala and Obama types are entitled to reparations even though they have no American black ancestors, or worrying about what dna calculation qualifies you, or whether an actual slave or a Jim Crow era black suffered more and has more entitlement, etc, etc. Poof! the whole issue will be gone after the election. To repeat. This is about buying votes. That's all.
Some of us full time traders too. It is almost 24/7. Good thing it generally pays well. Not a prediction.

Wall Street lashes out at Bernie Sanders' plan to pay off student debt with a securities trading tax https://www.investmentnews.com/arti...out-at-bernie-sanders-plan-to-pay-off-student
Since about 52% of U.S. households have a retirement account, according to the Federal Reserve, more than double the 22% of households with student debt, Mr. Sanders' plan could end up taxing half the country to forgive debt held by less than a quarter of Americans. This is a great point from the article. Many people think that the wealthy are the only ones that benefit from the stock market. But The average tax paying citizen has a significant stake in it as well because that's where they have their retirement savings tied up.
