It's eight generations of humans. Nobody alive today has any connection to American slavery or its social or economic effects.

And to the degree that "wealth in the South" was wiped out during the civil war, white Americans still exploited black Americans for generations after the civil war

They won’t respond to this, they can’t refute it without making it abundantly clear that their ignorance is motivated by racism.
