Nice of you to educate me in the fact that being a congressman and Chair of the CBC makes someone a genuine irrefutable source of information.
Now, I have no doubts that huge numbers of slaves died, both in the capture (by fellow Africans for the most part), the transport across land (lions, conditions, etc.), and in the trip across the ocean. I in no way wish to take away from that fact.
4000 slave per day thrown overboard? That's a lot! I can't imagine how many ships must have been in-route at a time to have that many to throw overboard.
By the way, what do you expect your share of the anticipated reparations to be?

Oh my, what would you do with a brain if you had one?
