take it up with Patrick B. But I bet if you check, more Black people have had more opportunity here than in Europe. And, last I checked, no one much from here is immigrating to europe..are we not the greatest COuntry in the world? I suggest if you don't think so, yo might go live where you might feel more comfortable and not have these feelings of guilt over your past hatred of the African Americans.

>Europe did not have a monopoly on slavery. Muslim traders also exported as many as 17 million slaves to the coast of the Indian Ocean, the Middle East, and North Africa. Slave narratives offering an African perspective on the slave trade contributed to the growing anti-slavery movement. Some historians say that between the years 1500 and 1900, five million African slaves were transported via the Red Sea, the Sahara and East Africa to other parts of the world. Within central Africa, the slave trade led to huge population upheavals. Coastal tribes fled slave-raiding parties, and captured slaves were redistributed to different regions in Africa. Slave dealing also contributed to the expansion of powerful West African kingdoms such as Mali and Ghana.< Excerpt from news.bbc.co.uk
