Just a thought, Although slavery is immoral, if I were black, I may be saddened that my ancestors had to live as slaves, but I would thank God everyday that they did so I could live in the Greatest nation the world has ever seen. I don't think any blacks living in America are not far better off than if they lived in Africa. IMHO

I think most blacks in America say "How could you know this?" How do you know that the people that were stripped from Africa and sent to america or that died on the slae ships in route were not the ones that would have made a difference in Africa through the generations? So, only by viewing the world as it is today can you make this statement that america was a saving grace for the decendents of slaves that died and were oppressed here. But how do you know that it would not have been just as good in Africa if Africa had been left alone?
Although I do not believe in reparation maybe blacks are not concerned with the slave problem in Africa because it is not America.
