What’s ironic is that the descendants of the Africans sold into slavery are much better off on average than the descendants of the Africans who weren’t.

By certain economic measures that’s true. But I wonder about relative status as compared to one’s culture. That’s more to the point if considering life satisfaction, I suppose.

I always look sideways at notions that certain countries have people who live on 5 cents a day etc. it’s a near meaningless comparison.

Some economists have estimated the value of 40 acres and a mule for those 40,000 freed slaves to be worth a staggering $640 billion today.

They shouldn't have sold.
