The ironic thing is that probably a very large pct. of blacks who came over were slaves in Africa as well. Certainly, there were no democratic countries or the rule of law in African countries. The law was whatever the king or chieftain said it was. Slaves and warfare were prevalent.
The slaves who came to America probably lived far better lives than their relatives back in Africa..unless they were royalty.
Slavery was evil, and had to go. But too many American blacks, like Coates, do not understand the tremendous opportunities they have in America. At the moment, American blacks, through the costs of crime and welfare, are a net drag on the economic system. We have been subsidizing them for many decades. It is up to them to change...not other Americans.
I didn't that. I did know that blacks were, for the most part, sold into slavery by their fellow blacks.
