If it were whites who had been enslaved by blacks, do you think today's racial environment would be much different? If so, how?

Me personally, I don't think there'd be much difference. The skin colors might change, but the history wouldn't. So today, White America would be screaming about how racist the U.S. is, while the majority Black America would be telling White America to get off dope and welfare and get a job.

What's your take?

I agree, as would any rational person.

White people would probably still be enslaved.

Just how would black people have gotten here? They never built a sea going boat in their history.

How many McDonald's are there in America? I see that many prisons in your hypothetical.

90% of food industry worker tips would come from 10% of the population.

are we just flipping the color of the skin around and keeping the history the same? as in now Europe is/was black and Africa is/was white

or are you saying that Africa beat Europe to America and colonized, then started to bring slaves over from Europe?

The country would be like Mexico. With such a small percentage of whites as slaves and the fact no one would immigrate here the white race in America would have been bred out

The best answer is to look at other countries where blacks are the large majority and where whites are a very small majority.

All of those countries are hell-holes run by corrupt regimes.

They can't run a McDonald's kitchen, what makes you think they could run a plantation?
