That's a fair point, but we don't really know what emigration would have been like if there was no slave trade. You also don't know that if they stayed in their native origins that it could have blossomed and the place could be an MEDC rather than a LEDC.

Plus if they were just employed like normal people rather than slaves things might have been a whole lot different today considering the amount of black segregation still present in US society.

I've never thought of it from that perspective.
However, a lot of people are going to disagree with you on this.
Hopefully there's no bashing.

Certainly. If we're opening up speculation, a lot of things could have happened. However, even with Western involvement, Africa is still woefully behind the world technologically and the emigration rates for the intervening two centuries would suggest that the ratio of blacks to whites in first world countries would still be much lower in the absence of the slave trade.

The slave trade doesn't have to be a good thing to have had a positive impact.

This doesn't make me as angry as it once would.  I don't really mind this at all, actually.

You speak... truth, in a very crude and foul way.  Every person who is angered and confused by African Americans who feel that they deserve penance for their forefather's suffering, I'm sure, will somewhere deep down understand you.

It doesn't make it a good thing to say.  It doesn't make it fair.  It doesn't make it appropriate.

I am not glad you said this.  No one appreciates your post.
