Ah, but the argument will be that because of slavery, and the consequent discrimination against african-americans, their descendents of today were at a disadvantage vis a vis everyone else, in that their families were less able to build up wealth, time etc to bring their children up as well. Further, if modern african-americans are disadvantaged, it follows by definition that non-african americans have an advantage. Even if you and yours never had anything to do with slavery, you are still beneficaries of that priviliged position.

So, how do you counter that argument?

That’s if you buy the argument that their current descendents are disadvantaged through an influence other than the current ilk of democrats and black folks who perpetuate the myth of disadvantage. QED, look at who our president is.

You don't. You get on your knees and say "May I please have another"
