im glad you agree you are ignorant and ignore what i have said; this isnt a topic about describing yourself, dont be so cocky.
dont be full of it kid.
lol, nice "NOU."
You are saying that African-Americans are better off than they would be without the slave trade because they are better off than Africans. If Africans weren't dicked over into a much much worse position than they would have been otherwise, then there's no way of knowing how much better off they would have been in their own countries.
That's the logical failure you keep perpetrating when people correct you and you somehow think they're not addressing you. If Africans would have been left to their own devices and hadn't had all of their resources stolen from them (and if they hadn't continued to be stolen from them to this day) then there's no way of knowing how much better or worse off they'd be in comparison to African-Americans today.

I donno about that one. Medieval Africa sounds like a shitty place too, or in general.
You'd be shocked at some of the areas that were in pretty good shape around the time of increased European expansion. There were plenty of societies throughout Africa that were fairly close to being on par with Medieval Europe, mostly thanks to the spread of Islam.
