native Africans ambushed and taken captive by rival tribes, brought to the ports to be traded/sold for goods...then brought to America where they had a to work long hours picking cotton and were punished for disobedience or inability to follow commands...

we have a massive civil war for these peoples freedom...

they take their freedom and create one of the most disruptive and ignorant cultures to ever exist...

do you people believe that what our founding fathers did was wrong? slaves were vital to the success of the early states...and slavery has existed for FAR longer than just the blacks...i dont know if there is a single country or race that has not had members of its people becoming slaves to another/their own culture in history. if i feed bad for anyone its the jews...everything was going fine until Christians starting popping up...then all shit hit the fan...since then jews have been slaves and mass murdered several times...

think picking cotton is hard? try fighting every day for your life for the simple entertainment of massive crowds...the gladiators did it...


Thats fucking stupid, they were destined to fail at the very start. Europe was riden with disease and they came to america and forced indians out of their land and on to reservations. White Europeans forced indians to become christian and gave blacks tainted christian material to better opress them. no way in hell did black people do that to themself.. try having any knowledge of our past before you argue such idiotic points.

its not that the fact of picking cotten is hard (it is manual labor by means) but the fact that they were nutrient defecient (gladiators ate.. alot) and that the gladiators were less in numbers compared to estimated 15~ millions LANDED on america (est 2mil perished in the journy). Its easy to say gladiators (in their numbers) had it far easier than the african slaves

you speak of idiotic points, but thats all i see.

They were set free, and today blacks have more rights and liberties than whites, asians, hispancis...just about any other race/ethnicity. they go to the same schools, have more options for collage...the list goes on...where are they setup for failure? the only thing that has set them up for failure is their failure to break away from their ignorance...its an ignorance where if a black person is well educated he is scolded for being to white.

yes, we did force out the indians...and i honestly feel worse for them...i could give a shit less about what hardships the blacks went though as slaves...its nothing compared to having your land, family and culture raped, stomped on, and thrown away before your very eyes...

blacks were brought to america as a result of their own people selling them out...native americans did nothing to warrant the injustice.

Your a blithering idiot, can't even spell college right, at any rate.. Once freed blacks werent permited to own land, vote, or even testify against whites. guess who owns 90% of the wealth? white government officials.. guess who is responsible for the downfall of our economy? whites making our banking seperate from our government.. and guess who was legally aloud to linch black people for personal reasons? what rights do blacks have that whites dont have? do these really cancel out all of the suffering that blacks had to go through in previous history?

wow...this is just dumb...and also...dont try to correct my few spelling mistakes when i can count 4 in your post...

so most of the power rests in the hands of white people...so what? this does not help me at all...they dont come to my house and give me money because im white like them...oh yea...and your right...affirmative action clearly makes things unfair for blacks...you know...the whole thing about qualified people being turned down for jobs so unqualified blacks can get that position to fit the quota.

You've been watching to much MSNBC, You think black people are just born as killers/rapists etc? no it's called being a product of your environment. Being raised in a place where they are inevitably destined to the hell holes of prison.


No dipshit, don't hate because I'm capable of thought outside of what your politically correct teachers drilled into your ass during the 7th grade.

Poverty contributes to crime, it doesn't cause it, and it doesn't morally absolve the fucks who commit it.

The individual who says "I'm going to rob a store" makes that decision on their own, blaming the system is just a sad attempt to legitimize their actions.

You should see "Cartman's silly hate crime" a Southpark episode.
Why is it that if a black man throws a rock at a white man its a crime but, if a white throws a rock at a black man its a hate crime?


This is all opinion btw.
Slavery did not do well for blacks because of all the racism that came out of it. If blacks had come over from Africa voluntarily they would have been migrants and things would have been fine. Since slavery was allowed to occur when it ended people still viewed them as slaves and/or worthless. The problem we have now is that people see how badly blacks have been treated and over compensate by giving blacks all these rights and privileges that may or may not be earned. It can be hard to be a respectable black in some of these positions because there will be those who believe you got where you just for being black and not actually earning it.

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...


What about the other side of the coin?
It is mostly because of slavery and later in the 1800's, imperialistic colonialism, that Africa is the mess that it is today.

so... technically speaking,according to your logic, you "helped" a very small % of africans at the expense of the rest.
