Lindy, I'd have thought the African=American descendants of the slave trade would be really glad that their ancestors were dragged off to the cotton fields in Dixie.

I bet not many of them are going back to live in Niger. They are not Nigers now and their ancestors were not wanted in Niger and the other slave supplying places either. Their lives would have been bleak there. The slaves were mostly better off in the ownership of the unlovely Dixielanders than their unloving masters back in Blighty, with horrible exceptions. But bear in mind that life was pretty bleak for everyone who was bottom of the heap back in those days. It's not that great nowadays either come to think of it. Check out Africa now for the fun those at the bottom of the heap are not having.

Now African Americans want compensation to boot, because they had the good fortune to be born in the USA. Plus easier access to various jobs and educational establishments, spectrum and all sorts.
