Slaves. They were slaves.
"Enslaved" is as linguistically retarded as saying "THE Ohio State University."
"Slave" dehumanizes the individuals who were kidnapped from their homelands to become property in this country. Referring to people who were enslaved as "enslaved people/enslaved individuals" acknowledges that they were actually human beings who treated horrifically.
Why does this bother you?
ETA: A main reason Reconstruction failed is because poor whites couldn't tolerate the idea of being equal to formerly enslaved people. Poor whites wanted to feel like they weren't the bottom of society. They wanted to feel better than black people. Looks like things haven't changed much since Reconstruction.

Maybe so, DURING RECONSTRUCTION! We are many generations removed from that time and mindset. Trying to apply that logic today is ridiculous.
Giving money to someone who wasn't affected by slavery 200 years ago does zero to change anything.
It actually harms them. Welfare proves this. People need to look forward, not backwards. Blacks need to take responsibility and fix their culture instead of blaming their problems on others.
