We’d be the healthiest and safest nation on Earth and definitely the more prosperous. We’d be worse at basketball and football, but baseball would still be amazing. Pop culture would be better off as well.

slums would just be poor white people, like the Lower East side of NYC c. 1900. If that's your idea of better.

Suburbs would not have grown so much

Is this what Wakanda would be like had the white devil not stolen the Kangs technology?

how would things be for blacks here now, that would have emigrated on their own free will? Would they be better off?



Immigrant blacks are better off than those that were born here because they weren’t raised as victims.

what about things in Africa?
What would their economy look like? Would it be better? Worse?


About the same. Warring tribes enslaved their rivals because there was financial in entive to do so. Without that incentive, most captives would have been slaughtered instead. There was an inflow of money to the victorious tribes, so perhaps they’d be worse off today, if that’s possible. I know the people that were enslaved would have been worse off, as they would have likely been murdered and their grumpy ancestors wouldn’t exist today.

Europe and Canada would be the best case studies.

Take what you want from that.
