That's false and I didn't read further. Without the cotton trade, which had worldwide demand, there would have been little capital of consequence for the continued growth of capitalism, anywhere. The empire of cotton made what followed possible.

"Cotton accounted for over half of all American exports during the first half of the 19th century. The cotton market supported America's ability to borrow money from abroad. It also fostered an enormous domestic trade in agricultural products from the West and manufactured goods from the East."

So you are saying Blacks should pay back the fees for being transported in chains at the bottom of the ships and all the food and clothing that white man was so generous to give him after he survive the journey.
No I am not saying that Blacks should have to pay back all the resources they received.
I think in a final tally Blacks would owe but that was a long time ago.
I do say this - There is not an African American today who in their heart or hearts it not thankful that their ancestors endured the hardships of traveling to the New World.
There is not one African American today who yearns to be in African.
If this were true many who be willing to pay for the transportation.
One only needs to look at any country in African to know - anything is better than Africa.
FYI - 100 African Americans were asked to name 10 countries in Africa and there capital - 0% were able to do that.
You should have to pay back all the schools that wasted time teaching and educating you... it was clearly money thrown down the drain. I think a few doctors of yours also missed the tests for the spectrum.
LOL

Careful now, you're in danger of being labeled a deranged commie leftist w/that talk by the con ET members.
FFS we are all mad talking to Ayn Rand.
I worked on Africa for years, I was in Congo in 1994 since the Annoying Randy keeps mentioning Rwanda and my ex is Tutsi Rwandan.
He/she/it has a completely fucked grasp of life in Africa (its a very big continent). The blacks kill each other thing is true, just the the same logic means whites have no respect for each others lives because of the Balkans which happened at the same time as Rwanda (and kept world attention off it).
Africa is a big place with a lot of cultures, to Randy here its just them blacks.
Wealth takes generations and blacks were unable to get a firm foothold in large numbers. The Greenwood Tulsa and a couple of other massacres (Black Wall Street) then segregation until the 60s. You can talk about Italians, Poles and even Irish as much as you want, they took time to find a way to break into the establishment, more than 50 years, and they were white.
