I grew up in Newport News, Virginia. Its one of the towns on the map that is nearly black. I can tell you first hand that many in that city still feel the aftermath of slavery. The poor illiteracy, cognition skills, financial mobility, health, etc, within the black community is truly staggering. I now live in California, but for anybody that claims slavery had no long term effect, go to some of those towns you will be shocked.
- beingmyself2 9y agoHow do these disadvantaged individuals compare with those who never left Africa? Are we brave enough to control for pre-Antebellum ancestry?

- PatientTrades 9y ago> How do these disadvantaged individuals compare with those who never left Africa? Not sure if you are aware but the large majority of brown and dark brown skinned (black) Americans are actually indigenous Aboriginal (Native Americans). Most "Blacks" in America can be directly traced back to natives who were already in America when Europeans arrived in the 1400s. Google dark skinned Indians you will see pictures of what im talking about. Its really naïve to think that all the millions of Blacks here today all came from Africa or even have links to Africa. Just some facts that are left out of the history books and never taught.
- beingmyself2 9y agoSo the slave ships were not a thing, they just enslaved the people already here? Do you have some sort of real source on these facts?
