Are you thankful for whites bringing you to america?

Question

I don't mean to be offensive or anything but if it wasn't for the white man, you would still be in Africa and many African nations are impoverished.

Sure, slavery was a painful and hard time for your ancestors but was it a decent exchange. Now you can be who ever you want and make an unlimited amount of money.

Please don't take this question in offense.

BTW: I'm 15.

Answer 1

piss off mate, im a white british, and i think ur turned ur whole continent into a piece of crap just like urself, u "white" americans arent "americans" u came from crapholes like ireland lol n europe n u wer "illegal immigrants" and invaded the land of the "native americans"

if u deny that then u show everyone ur level of intelligence

additional info:

by the way incase u ppl are wondering, even the queen's CROWN, is made out of african diamonds, imagine how many people slaved, tortured for the royal family's image and reputation

Answer 2

Glad you brought this up:

1.) To think that Africa would be exactly the same after something huge as the Europeans coming over is ludicrous. There was a book in which a boy went into the fast and all he did was kill a butterfly and the whole entire future was changed so you can't possibly think Africa would be the exact same way.

2.) There is a theory that if the Trans Atlantic slave trade had not taken place the world would be a better place

3.) One cannot say that Africans would not be over here. Africans had been to the Americas even before Christopher Columbus. There was ancient pottery found of an elephant in the Americas and where do elephants originate from?

But not to worry you're just 15, you still have a lot of learning to do...

Answer 3

As a african american Mixed Native women,let me start by saying this was Nobodys land but our ppls.2 add 2 that there r many african nations who r naturally rich in Everything.Alot of things have been stolen including the info of Both Black and Native History that someday will be rewritten from truth being omitted.Are we satisfied 4 being here Of course who wouldnt want 2 live in such a nice area, Are we satisfied with the way minorities r being treated Hmm some of are Not. until racism and injustice is dealt with in a major way we will be Very satisfied happy citizens here were we belong and what were owed.

Answer 4

Let me let you in on something. I'm from Africa myself like the rest of my family. Adopted father was the son of former slaves. If this is what America has to offer, then I rather be back in Africa spitting up blood right now. A decent exchange? It's not an exchange if I didn't get anything in return. Yea, we got our freedom, but did we really? No because we're still fighting over racial acts and discrimation. No apology or saying your sorry is going to wipe away over 100 years in enslavement. Plus, its not just the blacks, but also the Spanards from before us and even some Native tribes. This has gone too far and we need to stop actin childish and wake up. The world could be a lot better

Answer 5

If it wasn't for America's first settlers and int'l explorers of the 13-1400s, people may well be anywhere on the planet, or, even worse, all centered on two or three continents. It's not like whites saved the world... (PLEASE don't take that in an offensive way)
On the other hand, had that happened, Africa probably would be up to par with every other country because of the number of people, and the amount of migration from overpopulated Europe and Asia, therefore increasing the world's concern for a now suffering continent...

Answer 6

heh..who are you kidding?make an unlimited amout of money? have you forgotten about tax?i think you actually mean to be offensive by asking this question..people like you is what bringing the nation down...

Answer 7

Even considering your age, your logic is very, very warped. You call 350 years of slavery and oppression a 'decent exchange'?

Life isn't anywhere NEAR as simple as you think it is. Keep living. Eventually, you'll come to understand that.

Answer 8

Im not thankful for how I was brought here...but yeah I think it's better than living in Africa for the most part. There is a lot of poverty there and a lot of women who get raped...and then the diseases? forget it!

Answer 9

Absolutely not! I can't say for sure how life would be if my ancestors hadn't been slaves, but I know I'm not thankful for them being enslaved and America is still racist so what am I being thankful for?

Answer 10

you who have ancestors that were slaves are you leading a life of freedom and contributing to the country you live in a way that they would be proud of you for
