Carolyn Bryant is one white Democrat in an ocean of white Democrats that screwed over African-Americans. Let's not pretend she's unique in any way.
What an inability to acknowledge history. What happened to those racist white Democrats after Truman integrated the armed forces and Johnson pushed the Civil Rights Act? Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms went where?
The how and why are completely irrelevant to the question "who's better off in 2023?"
Acknowledging the inescapable truth that the descendants of the slaves are on average better off in 2023 than the descendants of the people who weren't enslaved back in Africa has nothing to do with the past.
Even if we play your little how we got here is what really matters game the SLAVES faced much more adversity than the free Africans did. And they STILL come out on top.
Your point is absurd.
“I am so far ahead of Benin in this race!”
”That’s because your uncle shot Benin in his knee.”
”It doesn’t matter, quit living in the past, I’m winning!”
Again... you're too dense to understand you have it backwards.
The African-Americans were the ones who got "shot in the knee". They won the race anyway.

You’re so right. Absolutely nothing happened to Africa between 1500 and 2000. No outside influence or intrusion for 500 years. The name “Lake Victoria” comes from the Dhulou language, don’t ya know!

Tell me more about how African-Americans would be much better off if their ancestors had never been taken to America.
Tell us more about how Europe and the descendants of Europeans would have done had they not taken land, resources and wealth from the Americas, Africa and Asia.
Tell us how Europe would be doing if Mesopotamians had not invented writing and settled society, or if the Chinese hadn’t invented gunpowder? Those Europeans would still be wearing bear skins and swing clubs.

Whites would have figured all that out.
But you're being a little bit hard on native Americans with that animal skins and swinging clubs comment.

The Romans were more technologically advanced in 50 B.C. than any country in sub-saharan Africa in the year 1750.
The notion that Africa was held back by evil whitey is absurd.

Your ignorance is embarrassing.
ALL humans took land from someone. There isn't a place in the world where the original inhabitants are living on their own land.

North Sentinel Island. I'm that ignorant.
Is it right that Europe took so much from so many parts of the world? Does might make right?
^^^ Great reply to a poster with zero perspective on history. And that is what the whole thread is about.
I don’t see how those discussions would lead to anything productive. We can all agree that slavery is bad and it is against humanity. But we disagree slavery is solely a white people thing. If blacks have had won fights against whites, I don’t think blacks would treat whites any better. It’s counterproductive to focus on how one race suffered more than another, and it’s racist to suggest one race is superior than another.
We are talking about right now how whites are trying to change the history of chattel slavery in America in how it is taught right now in Florida. They have the audacity to say a slave benefited from a skill learned while a slave. WTF?
How about white people TODAY stop lying and being discriminatory towards black people and all people who aren't white.

More BS from this lying racist idiot.
The population of Africa didn't grow for 300 years due to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
Also evil whitey held back all of the Western hemisphere. You literally killed most of the population.
And the survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants are better off than those who didn't survive. You stupidity is only matched by your repulsiveness.
Your stupidity is showing.
The fact that African-Americans today are richer and healthier than sub-saharan Africans has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not slavery was moral or evil.
You're so busy pretending you care about slavery that your tiny mind can't accept and obvious fact.
An African-American in 2023 is ahead of a sub-saharan African in just about every metric you can conceive of.
Meanwhile, a Jew who wasn't yanked out of their life in the 1940s is on average going to be doing much better than a Jew who had to start over from scratch after the war ended.
Your comparison is idiotic and demonstrates you don't even understand the point you're pretending to be upset about.
This MF thinks he can tell black people about themselves? In your F'd up mind you think black people were better being property of white people, than to live free from evil whites in their own land. WTF?
You are literally the dumbest person ever.
You have never ever set foot on the African continent.
