“Black Americans should be praising Slavery. Were it not for being enslaved and sold, their unequal ancestors would have been enslaved and died in Africa. It was inequality that allowed them to be captured and sold into slavery.”
Should they praise slavery for breeding them like animals or their “owners” raping their women?
Should they praise it for splitting up families?
Should they praise it for abusive beatings? For lynch mobs who murdered blacks for crimes they were not convicted of?
Black Americans should thank God that He providentially allowed them to be born into the greatest nation on earth, with abundant opportunities and a legal system that protects their rights.
Joseph in the Bible was sold into slavery by his brothers which ultimately led him to become the second in command in Egypt. When he later rescued his family from famine, he said to his brothers, “You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.”
Just because God causes good to come out of evil does not make evil itself good. It does not resolve the guilt of those who did evil. Their descendants later became slaves in Egypt, and I’ll assume you know the rest of that story.
So, if you and your children get sold into slavery by human traffickers, will you then “praise Slavery”?
Should have picked our own damned cotton.
Just because God causes good to come out of evil does not make evil itself good.
