They rounded up their weaker neighbors, imprisoned them on the coast and got very wealthy selling them to everyone that could send a ship. The Ottoman empire were particularly ruthless in their endeavors down that road. Forceful transitioning their male slaves at home and making lots of money.

True. Even though it was common practice on every continent and in most every culture, I defend none of it. The UK lost a lot men fighting to end it, as did the US, but it still goes on today and in greater numbers.

This was Muhammad Ali‘s response to a reporter, who asked him what he thought of Africa, after returning from the Rumble in the Jungle.

Considering that life in America, even on full welfare, is immeasurably better than the average life in Africa, anyone who is here because their ancestors were slaves from Africa has won the lottery.

Everyone wants free money. They look for any reason they can think of to get free money. My ancestors were slaves. Everyone's ancestors were slaves at one point. This means everyone deserves reparations from everyone else. Or we just cancel all of that out and everyone works to earn their own money. The free market will make the world a better place but income redistribution makes us all poorer.

Significant truth! It is, indeed the only answer.

We already paid the when we bought their slaves.

Having been to different parts of Africa I think the case can be made to demand the opposite. The Africans should pay the West for getting them out of grass huts and into modern cities.
