[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 2975232, member: 70903"] are you now moving the argument to the US is responsible for all slave trading across the entire globe? because 30 million Africans did not die being transported across the Middle Passage to the US. Even if you look at all slaves that were sent to the Western Hemisphere, it was less than 5 million at the highest estimates. And of the 10-15 million that were forced into slavery and sent via the Middle Passage to the "New World" - less than 350k of those were sent to North America. We are discussing the role of the history of the US related to slavery and its effects on the black community - correct? You are not trying to say that slavery in South America or Europe or any other continent has had a lasting effect on the descendants of slaves in the US are you? Interestingly - the estimated 15 million people forced into slavery and sent across the Atlantic between 1525 and 1866 is about the same as the estimated number of Native American's alive in 1500. Of the 15 million slaves forced to the New World, it seems to be agreed that about 10 million of them lived through the transit. But of the 15 million Native Americans that existed in 1500 AD, less than 225,000 managed to survive the intentional and unintentional genocide of their race. so 350k before 1900 to 48 million today or 15 million in 1500 to 7 million today...which race seems to have been more oppressed in our country's history?
