I read Keith Richburg’s book. He is thankful for the fact that he lives in freedom in America. He would not want to be a slave. He is glad that it was his grandfather, and not him, who got enslaved. But he is glad that the tragic fact of his grandfather’s enslavement, enabled him to end up in America. Being in America is like winning the lottery of life.
But nobody wants to be a slave. You can experiment by approaching a homeless man on the streets, or on a park bench. You can ask him whether he would prefer to be enslaved, in exchange for three meals a day, and a roof over his head. He would not accept such a deal.
