Whatever benefit “everybody” has allegedly received from slavery has been more than squandered over the last 60 years and has become a tremendous liability to the country and generations who had nothing to do with it.

This isn’t popular to say, but “everybody” includes blacks.

There - I said it.

It doesn’t mean I agree with slavery, or want it to come back. But the fact remains that the descendants of slaves are *much* better off than the descendants of those who stayed behind in Africa. Virtually no blacks are moving back to Africa.

After the civil war, the Republican congress approved reparations to all freed slaves, 40 acres and a mule. andrew johnson, the dim-0 prez who advanced from vp to prez when a dim-0 killed Lincoln for freeing the slaves, vetoed it.

They would be living in a mud hut and eating bugs.
Now they have a cell phone and EBT.
I would say they are the main beneficiaries.

“W/o slavery in America,”
S/B Americas like the caribbean and southern parts. The North American trade was only a small part of the trans-atlantic trade (5-6%). Most went south where they were worked to death.

Colonials, in North America, were not allowed to participate in the trns-atlantic moves;but they were the minor customers.

In a complicated world-wide ancient economic system,who determines where the major fault, now determined by 21st century values, lies?

What pablum.

Only slave owners benefited.

No one else and certainly not everybody.

My benefit was going to the back of the AA hiring bus for 60 years.

And I only look white, with and English name.

I resent being shook down by racist grifters.

I d9nt get your point. This article is talking about slaves sent to the north american continent. And I was specifically referring to those in the United States, who are demanding payment for what died 160 years ago.

Charge her for application falsification, convict her, then remove her.

You are a black immigrant who comes to what American black BS artists call a “racist” nation. This black immigrantswill get AA benefits even though he has zero American slave blood. His offspring will get AA benefits up the wazoo.

Its the biggest farce where you get African and Caribbean blacks immigrating here and getting instant AA benefits and preferences.

Obama- zero slave blood!
Eric Holder - zero slave blood! (his people immigrated from Barbados circa 1905)

Harvard is full of black students with zero American slave blood. They were 50% of all black students there a few years ago.

Sorry to interrupt, but weren’t many Union soldiers immigrants from Germany?

There were even, or so I have heard, military units of the North in which German was spoken, and even the officers commanded their men in German.

They used to teach math and now very few of them can do math. It’s very sad.
