    Holy shit this is stupid. These people were forcibly taken from their homes, stacked like wood in the holds of ships where many of them died, then treated worse than animals when they got here. So no, that wasn’t a benefit.

    Sounds like you’re from Florida though

      No I’m just being provocative for the sake of conversation.

      Overall I think their generational offspring’s lives are likely “improved” compared to maybe the similar generations who remained in their homeland these days.

      However, those that were slaves definitely suffered a very unjust and horrific existence that is inexcusable.
