re: Is Western imperialism the root of many of the world's problems?

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.
