for 200~ years of "suffering", they now get to live atLEAST 10x better than the average Africans.

Black Americans make about 56% of white Americans yet make 10-15x more than Africans..

should they be thankful for being brought by the slave trade?

im asking this because my history professors focus so much on how slavery was horrible and stuff, but if they werent coming here by the millions, they'd stay there by the millions...

Yea because im sure they are glad about being shackled and forced into labor all the while having thier homeland burned the the ground and thier kingdoms destroyed.. not to mention a majority of the people in prisons are black/hispanic.

Although there isn't a way to really measure the value of these things, you are still wrong.

What positives are there? what ever insignificant "positives" there are that you speak of.. the negatives outway the positives easily.. what ever point your trying to argue is irrelivant.

How would this evidence be created, exactly? It would be an empirical analysis of the cause and effect of slavery versus the status quo, which I don't think is possible.

Regardless, no more feeding trolls for me in this thread.
