Sensationalized title aside, African-Americans have a bit of a debt of gratitude to antebellum slave owners.  Sure, they were grossly abusive, treated the slaves like animals, forced them into unreal amounts of labor, but they did that to them.  Not to the modern black person.  The modern black American, without the slave owner, would more than likely be living in a third world country.  Outside the slave trade, there was not a significant amount of emigration out of Africa.

Sure, your forefathers suffered, but lucky you they did.  Because you like running water, Wal*mart, and everyone's inalienable right to childhood obesity.

PS- It's unlikely they would've been born at all if it weren't for slavery, or you for that matter.

Without going into too much explanation, sperm. Eggs. Generations of perfect probafreakingbility.

And Jewish-Americans should stand up and hail Hitler.

You're brilliant.

Too bad Africa was a piece of shit before the Europeans showed up, else you might have had a point.
Too bad Africa is MORE a piece of shit after europeans gang banged it. other wise youd have a point.

What could you possible know about (sub-Saharan) Africa before Europeans started fucking with it?

kidd rune Posted at 6:37 pm on Aug. 21, 2008
The entire continent of Africa, Earth's richest and most arable land, accounts for only 3% (as of 2000) of world trade.


The same somewhat applies to India. Many European nations created trade Unions with India because of its resources, but they ended with massacring of whites.

Yeah. Good thing the Europeans showed up to turn it into the paradise it is today.

You really dont get it.  Africa has so many problems now because of the influence of other countries.  To this very day people are still exploiting africa.  Its not a barren waste land, if it was no one would be there!  Africa was once full of successfull and intelligent people. They had there own kindoms, languages, and beliefs.  They were doing just fine on their very own.  Yes i do not know whether they would have failed or not. In my opinion if they were bound to have failed let them have done it on their own. They couldnt have been in a much worse situation then they are in now.
 

First off, if Africa were a barren wasteland, that doesn't mean that no one would live there. By your logic, no one should live in ghettos either.  
Second, this topic was not about how it affected the Africans in Africa, it is about Africans in America.


The OP is comparing Africans living in America with those living in Africa.  To fully appreciate the standard of living in Africa which the OP uses as a ruler to compare and contrast the living conditions of African Americans, one should look at the history of Africa and realize that the continent is so backwards today precisely because of European interference and domination.

As for the OP, the living conditions of Africans in the US is in spite of the intentions of white slave owners.

Paradoxically, it could be argued that America is great today because of the free labor that Africans provided.  So really, African Americans should be giving themselves a pat on the back.

I don't believe as such.

 Positivity that comes out of an abyss of negativity can only be attributed to the strength of those oppresed and not to the perceived heartfelt of the oppressors. America is supposedly built on the backs of slaves and stands as a monument to that era. I do not believe that one should ever honor the maliciousness and ill-content of the past.

 In exchange for material riches and a new era for those that follow, the enslaved sacrificed every piece of dignity and valor associated with simply being human. They lost culture, language, people and not even the joy of a peaceful death was given to them. To glorify the fact that their ancestors have taken the rewards only after much revolution is too much of a burden to realistically bear. Nothing was ever given to these people. Not even fundamentally obvious function that is human right.

 They had to fight for it in America. And muted success that came largely as a result of their efforts shouldn't be attributed to the glory of those that brought upon the effort in the first place.

Wow...its like the darker the people the more they fuck
They have a higher testosterone level I think I heard somewhere.

 Mongols have the lowest (out of the 3 main races)


 Please provide credible sources.


Don't have at the moment, but I'll try to find it again. That's why I said "I think I heard somewhere"    

I DO know that the negroes had the highest sexual drive, the mongols had the lowest, and caucasians were in the middle, I just think, if I remember correctly, that it was testosterone levels.


I don't trust your "beliefs". I trust credible sources.

And anything that isn't sourced from a credible site is conjecture.

Is that that you, Watson?


I don't have the proof so I don't expect you to believe me automatically.  

I'm just saying that I read that and it could have jumbled some minds that have also read this or reminded someone of what they've heard.


Sorry.

I don't trust white nationalist conjecture on racially sensitive topics.

And I see you didn't catch the Watson joke.
