1st off, he was sick before he step on our land.
However, I am struck by a certain irony.
The white man (Italians and Portugese) are constantly excoriated for brining disease that nearly wiped out the Indians (Natives, Blanket Butts,...Whatever))
This jackass, uhmm black dude, came to America, knowing he had a disease that flat out kills.
Why isn’t he equally reviled for killing Americans?
Was this black pay back?
Inquiring minds want to know...

There is no reason at all to think that Duncan knew he had the disease. He probably knew he’d possibly been exposed, and that he might have the disease.
But probably dozens of people in Africa are possibly exposed for each one that actually gets the disease.
Why black pay back? Africans were never wiped out by diseases imported by whitey. Quite the opposite, in fact.
European colonizers sailed around Africa for centuries, with little or no colonization of Africa itself till the mid/late 19th century.
This was because till medical science advanced enough to provide some minimal level of protection, white men who invaded Africa just died. During the 18th century, the average lifespan of factors on the Slave Coast was measured in months.
You’re an idiot.
