So NS I've been thinking and recently came up with a rediculous thought..

You cant rank which country has the best cultures, but I can tell you right now that African culture is savagry. There is little control in that entire continent, where a girl being raped and killed in our culture is tragic yet in theirs its extremely common. Where in our culture women can chose who they have sex with yet in Africa they cant, and cant force them to wear condoms (even though the AIDs epidemic is immense there). Where women with AIDs can only feed their babies by breat-milk which is POISON because it then gives their babies AIDs. Look at Darfur, is that the kind of culture youd look forward to calling home? I know NA culture isnt the best but for god sake atleast our lives and freedoms are protected. Africans cant even help themselves.

Alright, I'm a realist here.

I can only believe that if Africa was more civilized than other nations as much as we were over Africa, we would switch roles. Everybody took advantage of them because they could, during this time morals didnt mean shit so you have to think about that. The only thing that matterd was power, which Africans didnt have. Africans had no unity, they couldnt stop it because they were so far behind civilization (in the large scale). Sure they had villages of people but NOTHING compared to other countrys.

Saying we had tribes pit eachother against one another is stupid argument for the fact that to this day there is no unity. Elections are rigged, genocide is prevelant, and disease is spreading. Not because white people put the disease there, but they have no unified fight against it, no awareness. People there still believe raping a virgin will cure AIDs. I'll get some facts later when im home

All I am saying is this. Sure, Africans were slaves and its terrible that it happend. But for the 35 million blacks living in America today, its very good. AIDs is spreading, and you say it has no real disabilitating affects until the HIV turns to AIDs, but many of these people dont go to doctors, dont have anti-AID medicines, they're all not like Magic Johnson who has put off AIDs for decades. Also, understand THIS, there is NO CURE for AIDs and its spreading very quickly. 30 million people have it now, I cant quite tell you how many people have died from  it since it was found in the 70's but it has spread like wildfire, and will continue to spread. Mothers have to breast-feed their babies, and if they have AIDs it will be directly affect the child with AIDs. Now children with HIV rarely live passed the age of 10. Not to mention the fact that people with AIDs probably DONT KNOW they have AIDs and it will take a hell of alot of work for Africa to figure out who has and doesnt have AIDs when in the US 1/4 people dont know they have it either. I understand it spreads here in the US but in Africa its MUCH quicker considering 30x the people have it. Im not trying to justify the use of slavery im just pointing out an interesting side effect that most of our black population wouldnt exist here today if we had not went through slavery.

Wow, 1/4 people who are poor are Blacks!? Well they have these great programs OUR GOVERNMENT PROVIDES such as Welfare, Medicare, etc. etc. so people can atleast LIVE DECENTLY and not have to worry about what theyre going to eat the next day, and they can cloth their children and if god forbid their child gets sick, THEY CAN GO TO THE DOCTOR! I know it costs money but in Africa its not even an option what happends if their child gets seriously ill and they cant pay for it?

Just wrap your little head around the fact that in Darfur, were innocent people are being murdered over 400,000 people ARE DEAD and 2 MILLION are displaced, in DARFUR! That isn't a statistic for Africa, but for just 1 COUNTRY! Oh wait guys this is in the Northern, "CIVILIZED" part of Africa, sounds like a swell place.

Now for the love of god im not trying to justify people using others as slaves im just pointing out the fact that Slavery has immigrated generations of Blacks in America who will benefit from their ancestors being slaves.

Also I'd like to say that I made a mistake Darfur isn't a country, its a region.

In my last post I told you that yes black people havent had rights but no matter what at one time or another it HAD to be dealt with, and it is and it is over now. Prejuduce isnt bad at all today, and even still atleast the children were gaurenteed an education. Those Africa doesnt have healthcare like other countrys, so anything done is most likely from the help of the U.N. or volunteers. And you are an idiot for saying benefit is a synonym for good. By saying good I mean morally good, I can BENEFIT myself by robbing an old lady but that is in no means saying its GOOD.

No I think youre confused. You tried saying that benefit = good and I was disagreeing

your post is all over the place, and you're backpeddling to get out of stuff. but it's basically you trying to justify slavery? saying that it wasn't that bad because NOW african americans are benefitting from it. well, racism still exists in america today, its still a big issue actually.
i dont even really know how to respond to your post. so its saying that racism was okay because NOW black people in america benefit...
you're talking about african americans as though they're not even americans...like they're implants and should be lucky that they're able to live in america, instead of their "homeland" or whatever. you can't play out history like that.

i guess i'm confused. whats your post trying to say? slavery benefitted african americans because now they can (are able to...not an inherent right...) live in america semi-peacefully now as opposed to having aids in africa? so yes...you're saying that slavery was good for african americans. that slavery was WORTH IT because NOW african americans live well. but you can't justify all of that by saying its all good now (even though its not...).

i can't even really figure out what i'm trying to say, i'm still figuring out what you're trying to say...
