As compared to white people who profited from genocide and inherited systems and wealth created from enslavement.

    And when the slaves produced profit for their slavers, who inherited the wealth? The children of the enslaved, or the children of the slavers?

      these poor Africans that were cannibalizing each other in Africa

      Allegations based on anecdotes don't make genocide or enslavement okay.

      being given food and lodging

      In exchange for backbreaking, involuntary servitude.

      opportunity to eventually participate as free men in the richest country in the world

      You mean participate in wealth generation for one of the nations with the biggest wealth inequality.

      I propose we give every black person 10,000 dollars and a ticket back to Africa.

      You mean back to the continent white people spent centuries pillaging and destabilizing?

        Whites should have never had slaves to begin with.

        99% of them didn't.

        More white people were descendants from slavery and oppressive histories than were ever in the realm of "owning slaves".

        More white people died and fought through the worst forms of turmoil and starvation (much worse than most US black slaves ever had to experience with a bed and food) just to build a nation and societies that you take for granted.

        Taking it for granted and being subversive should be grounds with which to banish you from ever entering the territories and reaping the benefits.

        You're like a toddler entering a sophisticated candy store and smashing everything and crying that it's the storekeeper's fault.

        Your mind is a fake Hollywood portrayal of reality.

        They didn't "have to". Colonization was a choice, not an obligation. Nobody forced Whites to participate in genocide.

        Black Africans colonize and genocide.

        Asians colonize and genocide.

        Hispanics colonize and genocide.

        Arabs colonize and genocide.

        That was a choice, not an obligation.

        You're just here to troll.

        Blacks should have never had slaves to begin with. They still do.

        Arabs should have never had slaves to begin with. They still do.

        Asians should have never had slaves to begin with. They still do.

        [–]Clitorisk 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

        Whites (derogatory) should have never had slaves to begin with. They still do.

        [–]Yin 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        Whites are the only ones who proportionally effectively don't have slaves compared to the others.

        Whites (derogatory)

        Oh, you're trolling.

        Slavery in the US enriched the higher tier classes, which doesn't include 99.99% of anyone in the US today outside of the highest tier classes who were never dependent on slaves for their wealth at all. Almost everyone in the US has no lineage to owning slaves. More white people in the US have a lineage to being slaves. You probably have a better chance of lineage to slave ownership. Meanwhile, slavery in the US made the rest of society poorer. People were competing against slave labor. It depresses wages. This is the same story today if transnationals convinced you that getting asian kids to make your dumb superfluous overpriced sneakers is benefiting you. Actually, it only enriches a select few and hurts your nation. Beyond these facts, slaves were a liability.

        Blacks and asians in parts of the world are still enslaving people.

        Whites. Poor white people are still higher caste than literal slaves. Slavery enriched Whites.

          It's not anti-white hate. It's the simple reality that White people bring poverty and suffering to indigenous groups of people following enslavement and genocide.
