What if slavery had never been brought to America? Would that be a preferable reality? Before answering, keep in mind that US blacks are, by far, the most affluent blacks in the world.
Should we have picked our own damn cotton?

Just ignore the racist bullshit, the folks hanging on to it just need some excuse to justify a culture that keeps a race from moving forward.

We can ignore racist bullshit but we can't ignore race and we can't ignore history. Why is it you find it impossible to say whether or not you think it would have been better if slavery in America had never happened? I have no problem at all - it NEVER should have happened and if we could turn back the clock and erase it that would be a great thing. I think those who can't agree with that are the racists.

OK, i'll bite, Blacks are better off in the U.S. slavery and all compared to blacks in Africa. Just ask them, you do not see them moving to Africa do you?

Get over the white guilt, slavery was not invented by the white folk of the U.S. it had been around for a few Thousand years. I would dare to say that at one point in time every race was a slave to some other.

Let me help you nimrods - this is a choice between the moral and the pragmatic. The moral position being that slavery is always wrong and can never be justified. The pragmatic being that if a race is greatly elevated over time as a result of slavery, then that slavery must be viewed as positive. Conservatives never have a problem with this, they say slavery was wrong. That puts liberals in the position of saying that the conservatives are saying slavery was wrong only because it means the black race never happens in America, and they, being conservatives, are racists. But it also puts liberals in the position of saying that without slavery we would have no blacks, no Obama, no fundamental justification for liberalism, therefore no - they wouldn't go back and eradicate slavery if they could.
What this very old question really does is force the respondent to closely examine his beliefs (or cowardly not respond). Conservatives take a simple moral view and they don't have to think about it. Liberals have to agonize with "oh no if I say that it means.... b-but if I say that it sounds like..... oh my! oh my!" And that's the difference between conservatives and liberals - genuine core values.

You really are stupid... People like yourself is why we have wars, famine, rapes, thefts, hate, and evil. Have you ever wondered why this world is so fucked up.

This is like saying that if a rich guy in San Fran kidnaps a child from a Inner City Slum and enslvaves her for years and then tells her when she is 20 that she is better off than she would have been. Crazy, they did not just pick cotton they were enslaved, raped, starved, beaten, hung, castrated, bought and sold.
No it is by far the worst thing anyone in this country has ever done. Just short of Hitler killing the Jews. Had Lincon not freed the slaves it would have come to that at some point.

Nope.
It's like kidnapping someone out of the slums, then ten generations later their offspring live in Beverly Hills.
I'm not supporting slavery, I'm just sayin.

Exactly, and of course "picked our own cotton" is just a metaphor. There is no justification for it. So why is it that libruls, including ours here apparently, are unable to embrace that and say it would have been better if it had never happened, even though the black race would never have taken root in america? To me, this is yet another example of libruls being unable to admit who they really are.

Yes, slavery is morally wrong. Yes we would have blacks here whether there was slavery or not. We have alot of races here, the majority of blacks were brought here as slaves.

how do you know the African race would not have took root in America without slavery ???? You do realize that you yourself are from Africa. Do you realize how stupid you sound or you don't care and just seek the troll value ???

I think that the OP should spend a good amount of time enslaved and then the moron could give us a first hand account of his adventures.
I await his report.

Slavery has been around for thousands of years, probably for all of mankind's history and prehistory. It is a repugnant practice and should never have happened. No racial group is more or less responsible for it.

There was no America when the slave trade touched our shores. How can a silly white kid ever imagine the circumstances from 300 years ago?
