Finishing 1619 Project

I'm finishing 1619 Project. I have about 10 pages to go. It was a good book. For me it gave me yet more insight into how there were tweaked ideas about humanity and human beings present and foundational to the American project in addition to demostrating disgusting antiblack racism. At the end of the book the authors describe how black slaves were just released no matter their abilities and health as "free" persons with no wealth or shelter or food. It also touches upon how there was an attempt to grant restitution to formerly enslaved people (which I am for doing now today for descendants) but Lincoln got assassinated and Andrew Johnson took over and sent the country down another path. The book also discusses what I already somehwat knew, that the myth of Lincoln as an antiracist isn't entirely true. All this being said, there were some statements in the book stating that immigrants or european immigrants were "free to accumulate wealth" in America in the 19th and 20th century. And well I question this line of thought to some degree. I am currently reading two books. One is Edwin Black's War Agianst the Weak and the other is Working toward Whiteness by David R. Roediger. And while there is distinction between anti black racism and other racism, there were still views in the 19th and twentieth centurry which caused discrimination and racist retaliation against southern and eastern Europeans. There were still some very powerful groups which considered these people "black" and in Edwin Black's War Against the Weak it discusses how racial classification of Southern and European and disabled people resulted in sterilizationa and reproductive restrictions or in other words extermination of their descendants ( who obviously can't accumulate wealth since they don't even exist) So for me it is just kind of a problem when one sees something like this and says well it's not anti-black so it's not racist and therefore it is free.
