Remains found nearly a week ago in a rural area of Virginia are those of a missing 18-year-old university student, authorities said Friday, as they turned their attention to filing possible additional charges against the suspect accused of abducting her.

Two things stand out here. First of all, I had never done a study of this, so I was shocked when I first heard it. You have provided more details here.

What concerns me, is this. We got 400,000 and that’s only about 5%. This means close to ten million were taken out of Africa.

That seems like a very large number for those days.

IIRC, survival rates in the United States were much higher than in South America. We outlawed the import of slaves in 1807 or something - so the slave owners tended to take better care of their “property” here than other places.

The slave traders also lost a lot of slaves in Africa as they were marched to the port, in the port holding camps, on the long ship journey, etc. In S. America the slaves were sent to camps to be “broken” prior to sale (that didn’t happen in N. America for some reason).

Also keep in mind that all that early slavery happened almost 200 years before any slaves came to the U.S. in the late 1600’s early 1700’s.
If you look at the percentage of Blacks in Western European countries you find that the number there overall is less than 5%. A great deal of that due to natural migration rather than slavery.
So in the scheme of things without the practice of slavery the U.S. would probably have a natural migration of say less than 2% overall.

I don’t think the U.S. ever outlawed the import of slaves. Now the British outlawed slave trading at some point in the early 19th century but I not aware of the other by the U.S..

Sure there are dirtbags everywhere, but if your judgment isn’t impaired, it’s easier to avoid them. Last winter, a young lady from Duluth, MN lost her hands and feet after drinking in a bar and being dropped off in front of her home but being too drunk to find the door, she spent the night out on a neighbor’s porch. When she was found, the frostbite had set in. So, while these young ladies had no intention of fighting for their country, making the wrong decisions in life sometimes has bad consequences. I hope the dirtbag fries.

I stand corrected. I imagine though smuggling was done after that for quite awhile.

How many times does this same story get played out over and over. Young college girl abducted and killed by black man in the US South.

Wasn’t there another large black guy, complete with dreadlocks, that killed a young blonde white college student in Georgia or North Carolina just a few years ago?

We will learn from the scumedia that he was a good boy who was turning his life around a gentle giant and we need to find out why he feels the way he does. When there is no deterant the murdering will continue at an alarming pace

“That seems like a very large number for those days.”

Not when you consider it was over the course of about two hundred years.

You have to remember, there were thousands of black slave owners. More than 3,000 in New Orleans alone. There were even black slave breeders - something whites wouldn’t do. They sold their own children into slavery.

Okay. That does make more sense when you think of it that way.

Wouldn’t it have been the owner of the slaves that sold their children into slavery to other slave owners?

Yes. The owner of the slaves would have sold their own children into slavery.

That is exactly what the black slave breeders did. They were slave owners and they impregnated their female slaves and sold their own children.

People have been brainwashed into believing that all blacks in this country were slaves. Not true. There were thousands of free blacks and free black slave owners.

This guy is definitely a serial attacker.

I worked a few days on the search and I have only the highest regard for all of those involved. They were getting nothing from the suspect, but were searching huge areas of land looking for this girl.

There were also lots of volunteers working the search and looking after the searchers. A great display of community in the face of a horrible crime. I hope the family will find some comfort in the amount of effort exerted in the search for their daughter.
