My suggestion is is that the descendants of the slaves would have to understand the difference of those two variables in direct corelation to what it is said people had given up. They can't make that comparison. |

I have not read the thread so apologise if my point has been mentioned. What would be the state of Africa if slavery and then the following colonialisation had not happened ? Maybe Africa with all its riches would have been THE dominant continent.

All those "resources" and they still have such a diversity of "wealth". I don't buy it! |

Re: Slavery can be a Good Thing
[quote=oscar;1025409]I am currently living in a city of Britain .. Bristol that has a slavery history.
Bristol now hangs it's head in shame. they have recently officially apologised for the misery they brought to the people. When is America going to have the balls to do the same Quinn? It is not against the grain to be humble. If our country can recognise what they did in the "Triangle", why can't you? quote] Sheesh we (USA) have been apologising to minorities since after our civil war (which started out over states rights not slavery!!). I Pity that you live in a city that hangs it head in shame and can't "get on with gettin on"
