Seriously. None of the descendants of slaves in America would ever have existed without slavery. African tribes would simply have killed their rivals if they could not have sold them to the Arab slave traders. Had that ancestor chosen death over surrender, there would be no descendants.
Oh God. Here we go again.
OMG. I knew he was a politically-correct statist, and people didn’t want to hear it.
How is everyone missing the word “other” in the sentence regarding the ones who came on slave ships? He’s clearly drawing a distinction between the voluntary immigrants and those forced to come here.

Not all Blacks came to American soil as slaves. Some came as indentured servants and maintained their freedom, despite repeated efforts to enslave them. Look up the Driggers from South Carolina.
But he specifically said slave ships.
