> Times like these really make me mad at the slave-holders. They got to reap the economic benefits, while the future generations got stuck with the bill.

Let’s take down some more Confederate flags. That’ll solve the problem. ;-)

Why not blame the Northern ship owners who brought the slaves over? Or the Africans who captured them?

Slavery ended in this country a century and a half ago. Though oppressed for a long time afterward, American descendants of slaves are better off now — both economically and in terms of freedom — than most persons in Africa who aren’t descendants of slaves. When looking for someone to blame for current problems, I suggest you look more closely to our own time.

And they are so grateful. /s

Well. Had it not been for slavery, would these folks have been here?
