The vast majority of slaves that we got of African origin were traded to us by other Africans. I'd say of the two possibilities of enslavement in Africa, being to a ship bound for the new world held the most promise. If you disagree, I will buy you a one way ticket to Liberia on the condition that you renounce your citizenship.

As a Slav, my people were in bondage much longer than blacks in the United States. Try an order of a millenia or two. I do not care. It is far more advantageous for me to be industrious and build personal wealth than blame distant oppressors for a few centuries of enslavement. I benefitted from the bad conditions of my ancestors, and guess what? So did blacks in the United States. They should stop being professional victims and make things if they want to have equal cultural influence.

Beyond that, this whole discussion is a distraction from the people that have real undue power, those in control of the banks and the media.... If we fight amongst ourselves about race we miss the man behind the Zion curtain.
