Silly comment. Go and ask George Floyd and the many innocent blacks in jail what their choice would have been.

People keep writing rubbish all in a bid for cheap likes.

Lols. It's obvious you don't know what your ancestors went through. If you knew you won't be saying this. Those who gave you 84 likes are your fellow ignoramus. Get a book on slavery and read.

You are a shallow thinker. The majority of Nigerians are on forbes list of millionaires yet, only a few blacks in America are there. Most of them made their money without being in politics. Had the likes of okonjo iweala, my uncle , myself and a host of hundreds of thousands others of African decent whose generations never tasted slavery been enslaved in that era, they'd not have been anywhere to be found today. You just disappointed God for creating you here, with your dirty comment. Why not ask God to open your inner eyes to see and know the reason for your existenc?. How many black slaves survived the era? Many died in the ocean while many others were tortured to death. Even with their so called west life , they still beg me for money each time I visit US...blacks everywhere begging for money legitimately. Who knows you'd have been one of them living under the bridge of Los Angeles in the Inglewood, west century area today. Even a lot of them still came back to Nigeria after the end of slave trade. The likes of Da Roca who was the wealthiest Nigerian at that time...go and read about him. They still retained the names given to them by their slave masters even on arrival in lagos. I remember Da Silva family too.

Couldn't have said it better. He needs to print this comment and read it every morning. He should ask innocent blacks in jail and the likes of George Floyd what their choice would have been. Very ignorant way of thinking.

Joke or not, this is important information, so I'll write it anyway.

I can tell you neither watched the movie nor read the book.

Take it from someone who watched the series AND read the entire book "Roots" by Alex Haley, most African slaves taken to America DIED.

A lot died of disease in the holds of the ship's where they were arranged like yams and chained to the planks they laid on, urinating, defeacating and vomiting all over themselves and each other.

Those that eventually made it died in the very first winter they would encounter. Most blacks in the US today were born as a result of breeding by white farmers who bought girls and had guys rape them till they got pregnant, having babies that grew up used to the degradation and harsh life in bondage.

If they caught your great-grandfather, it's no guarantee of anything. Maybe you wouldn't even exist.

But, sha, na joke.
