A Choice For Blacks

[S.J.]

If today's blacks were given a chance to change history, and make it so slavery had never happened, would they save their ancestors from slavery, knowing it would mean they would be living in Liberia? Or would they let it happen again, in order to have a better life themselves?

 

[Tank]

Slavery is the greatest accomplishment in African history.

Greater Zimbabwe
Mali Empire
The empire that took over Egypt just before it was invaded around the 7th century bc

lol

After that I'd say maybe catching the ride over here.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Fuck no,

These people love the free ride Plus they'd be living under a emperor or king. That would suck

 

[TheOldSchool]

You people are embarrassing.

 

[Moonglow]

since I am not an Afro-American I can't make those decisions.

What kind of f*cked up question is this?
You know...making implications against blacks on the slavery issue,is no different than them making implications against whites.
Geez...must be a slooow day somewhere.

 

[rightwinger]

If I were black I would choose that my ancestors were allowed to immigrate to this country just like anyone else and be paid for their labor

No implications, just a simple yes or no question.

This should be a public poll. The people who vote no shouldn't get to hide behind anonymity

That wasn't an option as an answer because it wasn't an option for blacks when they were brought over against their will.

This is the typical racist....
You are better off a slave than a jungle bunny


Would you offer the Irish the same option?
Would you rather be a slave or starve in Ireland?

Fact is that blacks were robbed of their freedom and the fruits of their own labor for 200 years. As human beings they should have been offered the chance to come to America and take advantage of its bounties, just like any other human

That may be true but the question isn't what "should" have happened, it was whether or not blacks would "undo" what DID HAPPEN if given the opportunity.

I believe your "undo" presumption is inaccurate

It assumes that without slavery, blacks would have never left Africa. America still needed a workforce and blacks still made good workers

Without the institution of slavery, they could have come to America to work under an indenture contract.....just like whites did

Fine, but that's not what happened, is it?

I have a feeling you would let your ancestors suffer for your own future comfort. Right?

And you base that "feeling" on what?

 

[Meathead]

You have to tell them that there are no food stamps and little welfare in Africa.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Also they get to live under a African king!!!
