Really, if it wasn't for slavery, most of them who ***** would not be in America today. Instead they'd be in Africa living til they are 40 with no food and water, doing tribal dances.

Their families were ripped apart, women were raped, they were whipped, and the maimed were killed. How about if we take your son and sell him off to a plantation in the next state because we can get a better price?
You are ignorant of your African geography. The slaves were not taken from the northeast continent (I assume that is what you mean when you refer to no food and water) but from strong families and proud tribes. Yes, slavery was bad.

You are either a racist or just plain ignorant to write such a comment.
Slavery was and is not a good thing for anyone. It is part of America's history which I believe there's nothing to be proud of.
A lot of innocent people died and suffered under slavery.
It surely was a traumatic experience in the way these people were captured and chained to cross the continent which many died.
We have to recognize that the US is what is today because of Slaves and also other ethnic groups who also contributed to the building of this nation.
Maybe you should close your eyes and imagine you and your family being taken away from your land chained to be brought to a foreign place where you will be abused and possibly killed.
If African is in the state it is now it's due to many facts.
Past colonization, corrupt government and globalization.
I can go on but it wouldn't be fare to the others who wish to respond to this question.
As human beings we must reflect on the past and improve the future. Instead we have not evolved enough.

You know, as a black guy, I'm almost tempted to agree with some of your points. But because you're such a narrow minded, bigoted piece of puke, I'll pass.
Now, suppose you were subjected to the level of slavery that the early Africans were put through, do you think you'd be better off? Maybe you'd have more self respect and compassion for your fellow human beings than you do. So that would be a "Yes, you'd benefit from slavery, too!"

No slavery was not bad for all slaves many died before they reached america where they were beaten raped and treat like household pets.

Perhaps if the men and women hadn't been captured and shipped to the Americas, the Martin Luther Kings, the Jackie Robinsons, George Washington Carvers and other great black men and women would have influenced Africa into a better situation than it is today.
As for the tribal dance remark, your implication is just insulting.

Did you just say what I think you just said? In a sense, you're implying that slavery has "civilized" the Africans, that the white man's burden was justified.
A proud people was reduced to little more than chattel, their basic rights of family, dignity and happiness torn from them. Was it all that bad? Yes, it was all that bad.

That, by no means justify the white onslaught, who broght their ancestors to USof A and engaged them in work and inhumanity. Why dont you study the time and life of Ab Lincoln?
I pity your justification. if there are ten national heads like you then the whole world would be living hell.
