Pick up a copy of this book to understand what being a “Founder” encompasses: https://www.amazon.com/African-Founders-Enslaved-Expanded-American/dp/1982145099 Whites like to think they have the last word on everything. Not so! As to what I have contributed? More than most Whites who think this country belongs to only Whites." I am not making these claims; you are. It seems your perspective is deeply racist and you seem to be cherry picking contributions of non-white people while exaggerating contributions by slaves in the industrial and productive parts of America aka the north/union.
