You must rip out your benefits. All of 'em.
I have utensils if you need some assistance.

I am totally absolved. I reap no benefits from slavery.
I wear polyester. No cotton.

I am totally absolved. I reap no benefits from slavery.War of 1812 Star-spangled Banner
I wear polyester. No cotton.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
So how am I as a living white American, reaping the benefits the benefits
of long gone slavery?
What benefits, if any?
And why aren't living black Americans reaping those very same benefits, if any?
I see none of you can even identify the benefits...
let alone craft a plan to cease your reaping of them.
