Actually black slaves probably were better off than those who stayed in Africa
Thank You for your very wise observation!!!!!
Plus, most learned to read and write on the plantations here and got food and housing. Oh wait, they still get free food and housing.
I don't think it's fair for blacks to repay America for it's gifts to them and for the rights they enjoy here, esp if we are not asking other immigrant groups to repay...;)
Considering that many of them were captured in tribal wars (losers) and sold by fellow blacks into slavery, use so-called "reparations" money to buy them 40-acres and a mule in Africa + a one-way ticket to get there (also require them to renounce their American citizenship with no possibility of future American citizenship for them or their descendants). It could be the bargain of the century...Any takers? (crickets chirping)
