How America's Legacy Of Racial Terror Still Affects Black Wealth
| Forbes
--- Quote ---
> The decades after the civil war saw Black Americans slowly
gain more economic and political power in some parts of the
country. Some bought land, started businesses and built schools.
But in many places where Black Americans succeeded, white
Americans sought to destroy that success. While some of the
stories may have been scrubbed from the records and textbooks
throughout history, survivors and their descendants are speaking
out, shedding light on the violent events that took place in
their communities and exposing the lingering social and economic
damage caused by some of the worst racial violence in American
history.

more well-documented attacks on Black Americans from the Civil
War into the early to mid 1900s. It is by no means a complete
list. There are likely many others that have been forgotten and
covered up. Further, this list does not include the thousands of
lynchings or lesser known attacks committed by white mobs and
hate groups.

There is No Such Thing as a Free Market

Comment:
--- Quote ---
> This is so true, I've always thought this when
right-libertarians talk about the free market as if it were a
perfect platonic form. Even if you removed all government
executive/regulatory agencies and scaled back taxation to create
a minimal state there would still be no "free" market. The
boundaries and understanding of the market would still be
determined by the Courts and legal system of the state. The
nuances of contract law in particular would (and do) determine
the character of the market.
