Slavery is an evil practice and I' would never condone it. That said, I don't see why modern blacks are still outraged about the whole slavery thing- if their ancestors were never brought over do they think they would be roaming the fields in tune with nature in some kind of imaginary Serengeti utopia?
They aren't the only race to ever be enslaved and displaced, throughout history every ethnicity has been handed the short stick, think of it as a historical learning experience.
The enslavement of the Jews arguably made them the most powerful group in the world through diaspora.

so the current practice of taking kids and forcing them into the army is different and makes africans less culpable for their own problems? ...
and the africans that sold rival tribe members to the europeans for enslavement don't share any culpability, either? ...
