That's almost an accurate portrait of most of Africa.
I never said the slaves were the lucky ones. Today's black American descendants of slaves are.

Again, claiming that whites by nature are smarter than blacks is racist by definition.
Personally I think those who espouse racist views like this should come out and say "I am a racist" instead of pumping out a lot of ridiculous double-talk.
If you believe that one race is by nature genetically superior or inferior to another, you're a racist, no if's and's or but's.

It's not racist to talk about race.
It is the genetic make-up that means black people have an advantage, as they have greater muscle mass. However, a disadvantage is that black people can't swim due to denser bones.

It is no secret that African American men and women have dominated sports ever since they have been allowed to play along the white man and women.

So, what do you think, has slavery actually benefited todays African American in a way?

These African slaves were considered sub-human by the "white man."
No, slavery in the U.S. was not the fault of one particular race of people.
