Slaves were,as you say slaves before they got to the new world. The origin of trans-atlantic slavery was technology. Ships could move large numbers of people long distances, taking them from where they weren't worth anything to where they were. This was morally wrong but economically understandable. Most of these forced immigrants went to Central and South America (92%). If they hadn't come here they would have still been slaves or dead. In the new world they were worth more than any but the wealthy could afford. How you could ever rectify the economics of all this by suing a few American corporations is beyond me.

The real tragedy is that all the hard work carried out by emancipated black slaves has been cheapened and spat upon by the money grubbing lawyers, welfare mothers, and bastard ghetto dwellers...who are waiting for a LOTTO pay out at the expense of hard working Americans, black and white.

The analogy of the Palestinians and the money grubbing ghetto dwellers is that BOTH have sub-existed on the backs of others too long and STILL feel that society owes them something. And that something isn't more of anything...it is the DESTRUCTION of everything they are TOO stupid to respect or understand.
