Slavery in the United States will one day be looked upon as the best thing ever to happen to the black race. It was their key to the door of freedom and independence, and a seat at the table of the modern world. It was also infinitely better than being killed by the tribe that captured you rather than being sold to the white man at the dock. Those were the only two choices back then.

Repugnant.

Uncle Sham, please disregard any further discussion between you and I. Your statement is asinine and categorically ignorant.
The hell that those slaves had to endure was nothing short of horrific. They were torn and separated from their loved ones, taken from their country, and sold like animals into forced servitude. More than half the slaves died while on the ships traveling to the Americas.
Their “handlers” stuffed cloth into their anus’ in order to hide the fact that one had dysentery before being sold. During the voyage, these human beings had to lie in chains in their own waste on a wooden “bed” that had approx. 3 feet of head space. This is just a brief description of what they had to endure.
I don’t think it was a good thing. I believe God took a great evil and saw that some great good came from it. Unfortunately since we are a fallen race (humans) great ill also came from it. But the institution of slavery was and always will be a great wrong.
Your post was the one of the most ridiculous and racist thing I’ve ever read on this site. You’re an ass.
