Well, that and the fact that "Whitie" participated in the slave trade business too.
Good grief. That's not a very good excuse for mercantile slavery.
Maybe this one isn't your best topic.
One of the Laws of Unintended Consequences is that many people, not just blacks whose ancestors were slaves, live better lives today because of bad things that happened to their ancestors.
Many Irish left Ireland during and immediately after The Potato Famine of the mid 1800s where are a million or so Irish starved to death. It was a grim thing to drive around Ireland like the wife and I did ten years ago and look at the "famine houses" one of which was across the road from one of our b and bs. After the potato crop failed, the Irish peasants who couldn't pay their rent were evicted from their houses and left to starve outdoors. The roofs of their houses were torn down so they couldn't move back in. All that was left were stone walls.
It didn't have to be that bad. While the Irish peasants were starving to death, beef was shipped across the channel from Ireland to England under contract. A number of Irish had a little money saved and were able to gain transport across the ocean to America to start new lives. Many died crossing the ocean packed like sardines in "coffin ships."
But are you going to tell some Irish-American that they should grouse and complain constantly because their ancestors suffered horribly? Well no. The Irish citizens today live far better lives than their ancestors. But I doubt you could convince many Americans of Irish descent (including me) that they should move back to Ireland.
We can't change what happened in the past, and even if we called things like slavery what they were, great evils, it won't change the past either.
The sad fact is most American blacks lives far better lives than their kinfolk back in Africa. By far.
What is the point of whining about what happened hundreds of years ago when it won't change anything?
