What you are is a beneficiary of it, even if you came over on a boat last year.
How am I a beneficiary of something that was outlawed in this country 149 years ago when I have only been alive a small fraction of that time and my ancestors have only been in this country for 84 years?

How is what you say true possible? The only way I can imagine is that your logical argument is: 1. Slave owners had an advantage over slaves 2. Descendants of slave owners had an advantage of descendants of slaves 3. An additional 5-6 generations of descendants of slave owners continued to have an advantage over 5-6 generations of descendants of slaves 4. All descendants of slave owners (regardless of how many generations removed they are) are racists that give advantages to whites 5. Therefore, any new immigrants to America instantly inherit these advantages Is that it? If not, explain how your extraordinary claim is possible.
