I suppose if we’re being honest with ourselves, one benefit was getting to leave Africa and come to America. There seems to be a lot of people out here dying to illegally cross our borders.
Holy shit this is stupid. These people were forcibly taken from their homes, stacked like wood in the holds of ships where many of them died, then treated worse than animals when they got here. So no, that wasn’t a benefit.
Sounds like you’re from Florida though
No I’m just being provocative for the sake of conversation.
Overall I think their generational offspring’s lives are likely “improved” compared to maybe the similar generations who remained in their homeland these days.
However, those that were slaves definitely suffered a very unjust and horrific existence that is inexcusable.

The activity you just described is called “trolling.”

Also known as “being an asshole”
Funny difference here is though that slaves were kidnapped and sold, had no choice in the matter.
This benefit is akin to force someone into hard labour and then start selling getting calluses as a ‘benefit’. Your welcome. Absurd of course.
Being a troll doesn’t provoke “conversation.” It’s a dead end with people just calling you an asshole.
Yeah it must have been really great to get kidnapped from your home and family and forcibly sold into slavery, shipped from one undeveloped country to another undeveloped country. Stop with this nonsense - there is nothing good about slavery. Period. Done. End of story. Absolutely sickening. Pure evil.
yeah, sure, getting colonized, stolen from five ways from sunday, and oppressed in what’s mockingly called our ‘liberty’. So beneficial. SO lucky.
I believe the African tribesmen are the ones who sold them. I’m not sure it 100% constitutes as kidnapping in this case.
There may have been kidnappings but to my understanding they were sold out by their own people.
Once again, still fucking terrible beyond imagining.

That’s not really a defense; considering not one cracker stopped and said “hey, wait, this is wrong; these aren’t chattel” for another two hundred and fifty years.
The America they were forced to come to was vastly different from the one we live in today. How would that be better than where they already lived? How would someone benefit from being ripped from their family and support system and dropped in an undeveloped country to do forced labor?
