Look, I'm sorry.
I'm from Liverpool. We controlled the slave trade, from the Exchange in my, small, city. Our small town was transformed into a cosmopolitan, well educated municipality solely on the back of the triangular trade. Look it up. Liverpool, for it's population has too many good universities, too many libraries, too many hospitals and too much history.
Liverpool has many beautiful buildings (the most in the UK outside of the square mile of london), the most art galleries (same as the last thing i mentioned), libraries, museums, art galleries, etc, etc, etc... all on the back of the suffering of other races... and the funnelling, though empire, of the wealth of the world through to European, then American (with a cross-over) hands.
Liverpool, since the end of of the British Empire, has been a basket-case.
To talk about redistribution of wealth in a nation (The US) that hasn't known famine in many, many decades is simply ridiculous in the grand scale of things.
Look around.
Don't you understand what is happening and has just happened?
