buddha, since you're obviously never gonna change your opinion (even the slightest) or even listen to me, i find it useless to argue with you, even if I am simply pointing out the obvious. I do have some thoughts though.

edit: that sounded worse than i wanted it to be after i read it. I meant it in the way that some stranger on the internet has no affect on your beliefs...which is really a good thing, and that me trying to affect them is pointless, so I'm just wasting space with these posts now. But i'm gonna keep on at it anyway .

I agree if you can find the people who did it, they should be punished....but that's the thing. Anyone who did it is dead. You will not find anyone alive (at least i hope) who owned slaves. If a man kills your father and then dies, would you go after his son? I'd sure hope not. I agree that the government still owes the land and mule, but that's the government...that's not a shipping company.

They took over 15,000,000 people out of Africa. Africa was a very much advanced country then at that time, what if they NEVER came there?

Africa might not be in the shape it is in now had not people depleted and exploited it for its diamonds, gold, oil and other natural resources. (I bet you didn't look at it the other way around, did you?)
I did.
I'm seriously gonna hafta see proof of how much advanced africa was. I mean they enslaved their own people. When were they going to decide to stop that and make everybody equal?

as for the resources, look what resources did to the middle east. Any place that actually has resources like that has not faired very well. The world is a cruel place.

I would really like to see if you can come up with anything on how advanced africa was. I've never heard anything about it, so I don't know...maybe you can change my mind.
