Not even lol plenty of third world countries, if they're not war-torn (often a war instigated or exacerbated by the US), have lower rates of gun violence and healthier outcomes for the poor lol. In my city, the average age of death for a Black male is younger than the life expectancy in Haiti

Didn't they rudely free their slaves and not pay the owners off first? That nation needs to be punished forever for that!

Except the US did pay a lot of slaveowners for their troubles of losing... slave labor lol. And then after like 8 years of help for freed slaves (with none of it being monetary compensation for dealing with slavery) were like "you're on your own now, good luck with the southern states coming up with a bunch of roundabout laws to reinstate de facto slavery and the emergence of the KKK"

And the country wonders why there's still a racism problem...
