"What i think is that by having slavery it made the whites seem that they were the ones more powerful than the blacks back then <~~You're right; and before emancipation, the whites were more powerful; no question about it. and till today we still have a problem with racism and dealing with glass walls,glass ceillings, and glass escalators at jobs.<~~Now THIS is what your question is after: the after-effects of slavery on US culture up through today. What you've written from here on seems to be unrelated to the question you're being asked.~~>To me everyone is the same and by having someone under someone else it sure brings out a lot of problems in life. I know that there should be someone in charge but those who are shouldn't treat their employees badly just because they are lower then them. Humans need to realize that by still having these issues this world will never really be calm of all vandilism. "

The question is asking about the influence of slavery on the evolution of both black and white America today. To answer this question, we need to consider the lasting impact of slavery on various aspects of American society.
Firstly, slavery had a profound effect on race relations in America. It perpetuated a system of racial hierarchy, where white people held power and authority over black people. This power dynamic created a legacy of racism that continues to impact society today. Discrimination and prejudice against African Americans persist in various forms, such as systemic racism, racial profiling, and disparities in education, employment, and criminal justice. These issues can be traced back to the initial dehumanization and subjugation of African Americans during slavery.
Furthermore, the institution of slavery shaped the economic and social structures in America. Slavery was a vital part of the Southern economy, with enslaved individuals providing labor for plantation owners. This system of forced labor contributed to the wealth and development of the Southern states, while also perpetuating a vast wealth gap between white slaveholders and enslaved African Americans. Even after the abolition of slavery, this economic disparity persisted, as former slaves often faced significant challenges in accessing education, land ownership, and economic opportunities. These disparities have had lasting consequences for the socioeconomic status of African Americans today.
It is also important to acknowledge the resilience and cultural contributions of African Americans that have emerged in response to the legacy of slavery. Despite the immense challenges they faced, African Americans have played a crucial role in shaping American culture, from music and literature to politics and civil rights movements. Their efforts and achievements have contributed to greater equality and social progress in America.
In summary, slavery has had a lasting impact on both black and white America. It has shaped race relations, economic structures, and social dynamics, perpetuating a legacy of racism and inequality. Understanding this history is essential to address the persistent issues of discrimination and to work towards a more inclusive and just society.
