No. Many blacks came as free people after slavery was officially abolished in the Americas. I don't know for a fact, but I would not be surprised if there were people living in the Americas now who descend from Australian aborigines or from blacks from Melanesia. I know for a fact that the Costa Chica region of Mexico's Pacific coast has a sizeable community of blacks who were never slaves. The ship their ancestors were on sank off the coast of Oaxaca (perhaps the captives mutineed) and some of the captive Africans made it safely to land and qwere never sold or pressed into slavery.

Yes they are. But slavery still exists! Undocumented Immigrants are the new slaves in America because they are exploited and they don't have any right. It is really embarrassed for the Bush administration. I hope Democrats do something about it.

Of course not. Some are immigrants, some are descendents of Haitians or other dark skinned people. Not everyone with dark skin was descended from that ugly blotch on American history.

Nope, not even close. Not even way back when were all Blacks enslaved, the majority yes, but not all. Now there are migrants and descendants of migrants.

No, some were of royal blood and brought to the Americas against their will.

Yes. All black people in America ( the Continent) came as slaves.
It is sad but is truth. Salvery existed mainly in the Caribbean and South-East USA

just about, except the ones with obviously foreign surnames.... how many Africans in Africa do you know of with last names like
smith, Greene, Harrison, etc. slaves used to take up the last names of the people the family they served.
