what about all the other races that had slaves before whitey?
what about all the other races who have slaves now?
blacks have been a victim unto themselves.
if whitey is evil because of slavery, then other races are more so.

They were equally as wrong as well.

As I have said, find me a poster here that has shite more on Dubai and Qatar. Race is irrelevant to me.

Why look at this through a racial lens though? That’s what I don’t understand. I hold everyone up to the same standard.

This is just the mind of a racist that can’t understand the point of view of a nonracist.

My dad once told me that he shoulda married this other woman instead of my mom. I told him if he did, I wouldn't exist. (My mom said the same about him as well, lol).
It's the same with black Americans today. They can sit around and lament slavery, but how many of them realize that without it they wouldn't exist?

There were plenty of dirt poor whites and no minimum wage. You have to wonder what this country would look like now had the colonies not imported labor and allowed their profit margins to take a relatively minor hit by paying poor white folks pennies, shitty housing and three bad meals a day.
That actually did happen, and it was cheaper to pay the whites. Slavery was on it's way out by itself, dying a natural death.

But that can be used for everything. Let’s say your great grandfather was a radical klansman that lynched a dozen or so people. Any action he ever takes differently will mean he’s fricking your great grandmother in a different way, which would lead to a different sperm fertilizing the egg that eventually became your grandfather. The butterfly effect is much more pronounced than the average person thinks. You can’t justify any of it just because an atrocity led to your birth.

If your wife were repeatedly raped and those kids were sold off and there was nothing you could do about it would you call it a gift?
What about your daughter getting raped and scourged? Still a gift?
BS! How many fathers even know their children or children who know their dads today?
Sure there are those who take responsibility and love for their family. But the democrats call those "Uncle Toms."
I worked with this guy a few years ago who had deserted his family. I asked him about his life choices and he ridiculed me for being responsible. He said, "I'm going to have some fun". I told him while you are having fun me and other like minded people are taking care of your wife and kids.
I'm sure he was concerned if some else was abusing his kids. Hell he never even visited them.

gloating about how great life is for modern day blacks
Who is gloating? The question was are blacks in a better spot today due to the sacrifice of their ancestors. Again, you answered yes they are and I agree.
It’s not an immoral question. All people deal with the hand they were dealt by the prior generations. Blacks today have never had a brighter future with more opportunity than they do in the USA right now.

Because black peoples across the World perfected the slave trade and are still practicing it today in 2019 long after it has disappeared from America.

Well when I’m in charge, these Johnny Appleseeds will be put down.

But this is true for everyone. We’re better off as a modern society that Alexander took over the world. We’re better off because Julius Caesar massacred the Gauls. We’re better off because Genghis Khan opened up trade routes. But what about the other timelines where those atrocities don’t happen? Whose to say the directions they would have taken?

You have a point. I for one wish the Africans never sold slaves to the States. The better question is how would it have affected our sports today?

I’m aware, but it’s pretty fricking hypocritical from a society that claimed to be the Land of the Free.
Well, those lyrics were penned in 1814 or so and the first slaves were brought to the New World around 300 years earlier, so your argument is rather flawed IMHO.

Could have banned it in the Declaration of Independence.

I think it is disgusting that we do trade with slave owners and should cut them off. It’s why I’m very much for investing in alternate energy to starve them off.

A couple of years of work and 150 years of sitting on the porch drinking beer with a government check. This game is played out.

Great Danes are dogs. So are terriers.
Figure it out.
Race is a social construct.

Yes. Followed closely by the birth of Dr. James Naismith.
