Answer:

White Americans have a privilege. It is their skin. White Americans in the south have had the privilege to buy and sell humans because they had a distinguishable color skin. White folks were given the right to freedom. On the other hand, there were enslaved people of color. Brought here to America from Africa to be enslaved. The slave trade lasted over 2,000 years. Bringing innocent people from their home country to America to work day and night, not receive pay, and be killed for voicing their opinions. The free blacks were not treated as though they were "free". The free black men/women had to give proof of their freedom. Even if they were no longer enslaved they were enslaved by hatred, discrimination, racism, and inequality.
