this quote is from the future ![Huh ???](http://www.getbig.com/boards/Smileys/classic/huh.gif)
if it weren't for slavery, they would not have come to America in the first place and wouldn't be living here today (no racism)
of course it was bad, if you could would you undo it and you would live in africa instead of tasting the fruit (no homo) of America
careful. slavery came about because africans were happy to enslave their own and sell them to europeans as commodity in exchange for gold and spices.
then it took 250 years to remove it.
so it wasnt the europeans that gave them the "gift"...and it wasnt the europeans fault either.
there seems to me to be very equal blame going on here...and 250 years to remove an entire social structure and belief system to me, sounds like a very impressive achievement...
