ARE AFRICAN AMERICANS THANKFUL THEIR ANCESTORS WERE MOVED TO ... 'AMERICA' Pt 1

()

I guarantee that if you'd asked those ancestors themselves, if they preferred to live in captivity, you would definitely get their equivalent of a middle finger (provided they could and wish to give an honest answer)

Categorically, African Americans cannot and do not feel grateful for slavery, due to the inhumane treatment they had to endure. Their ancestors were compelled and imposed on 300 years of free labour to the U.S, Portugese, U.K.....
Even after their emancipation they were; Marginalized, Abused, Belittled, Unappreciated, Given limited access to resources and education, Mocked, Denigerated, Stigmatized and Disrespected.

Their many achievements were ignored and removed from the pages of western history. Even presently, many a people still struggle with the effects and aftermath of slavery and racism.

Conceptually, i feel it takes a really deep and intricate reasoning and understanding to really fathom the answer to this titled question.....Its actually a two way street.
Going down the first street with all its tarred lanes and glass houses, flowery paths and shining lights........What African Americans are really grateful for is the fact that through all the odds, they managed to contribute to their 'THEN'...... forcefully adopted country with alot of technological innovations and the likes of it or what i can as well term 'EASY-LIFE'.

!

Two things, first, i emboldened 'then' in "then forcefully adapted contest" because asking a young average African American about their inception, solves the logic.......you can as well try.
Secondly, i admit that their is no such thing as an easy life , while ardously striving for the 'good one'. Its all a question of perception and hindsight. And answering this question, i'd say that from the hindsight of an average local African, the American black life is all there is to an 'easy life'.........take it or leave it, if you really did, believe it or not.........

Contd......
