The Chicago Tribune correctly points out that slavery was legal. In addition, it was sanctioned, prescribed and encouraged by the Koran, the Caliphate and the Ottoman Sultans.

Instead of descendants of slaves suing for slavery, I would advise the present day Africans to sue the Arabs and Europeans for depriving their ancestors of a chance of participating in the slave life, and escaping Africa.

Just a thought, Although slavery is immoral, if I were black, I may be saddened that my ancestors had to live as slaves, but I would thank God everyday that they did so I could live in the Greatest nation the world has ever seen. I don't think any blacks living in America are not far better off than if they lived in Africa. IMHO
