You know, if I was an African-American, I would get down on my knees every day and thank God that my ancestors were snatched from the motherland and brought over here to America.
Those slaves that established the first black presence in North America paid a huge price in the indignities they suffered. They are just as important to American history as the Founding Fathers of the country. Without slave labor, our economy would have been crap and we never would have been able to support our troops in the Revoultionary War. Those slaves deserve to be held in everyone's memory with the same regard as for martyrs and saints. But I digress..
If I was an African-American, I would realize that if my ancestors had succesfully evaded the slave traders and remained in Africa until the current day, that I might be one of the savages that perpetrated these horrible crimes in the story above. Or that my Mother or sister was one of the women raped.
Africa is the armpit of the world. Raped and exploited by stronger countries, rife with disease, pestilence, hunger, and crimes against humanity. Yes, if I was an African-American I would thank God my ancestors were slaves..
