It was WRONG to make people slaves but just think for a second if it never happened.
A good buddy of mine is from Africa and he had moved to Canada a few years ago.
When he talks about Africa its very sad, alot of suffering there.

I think Africa would have been able to develop quite well if the violence required to enslaved people had not disrupted the leadership and people. It's hard to build something in Africa when the labor force is being transported to America and current property being destroyed in the fighting to capture people.
Remeber the big finacial blow to the US when 3000 Americans were taken out with the world trade center. Just think how far we would go if this happend every month for a couple of hundred years.
It's kinda lame to think that Africans would not have migrated freely to the west just like every other race did. We didn't need slavery to get the Japanese, Koreans, Mexicans, Spanish, German, Jews, East Indians and Arabs in America. Why think that it was needed to get Blacks here?
