You're welcome and thanks for your statement that:
"But I own the part that the rich white slave traders took in that darkest times of Liverpool's history with poems I've written such as this one:"
The majority of the Caucasian race in the U.S. has not, will not, and never will own their great ancestors' roles in the slave trade. Once while researching census records, I came across a slave owner, wrote to a descendant asking if their family still possessed records of the slave transactions. The person wrote back and stated there were no slave owners in their family. I forwarded this person a snapshot of the Slave Owners Census Records for that county. The person never responded and blocked me from contacting them.
Also, when you state that:
"I do have relatives in North Carolina and have visited them many times, and that's why I think that segregation is still a worse issue in the states than in the UK, but it might have just been because of where my relatives live."
You are correct. However, it's pervasive all over, but especially in the South (southern states).
Thanks so much for your engagement. I'll read your post and poem.
Have a good rest of your weekend.
