And in the process, Europeans slit their own throats.

"The slaves brought over were generally ignorant savages. They were killing eachother over in Africa - just like they do today - and were perceived, by the masses, as more animal than human. They had very little, almost nothing, in common with the African-American of today other than pigmentation.

Anyone running around naked like an animal, not intelligent enough to have even invented protective clothing, and having a society which consisted of thatched huts and which had absolutely no technocracy, whose only sport was killing neighboring tribes - would naturally be considered something less evolved than the rest of humanity.

So all these "evil europeans" saw very little "evil" in taking these folks out of the jungles and into a "civilized" world where they would be clothed, fed and protected from the elements, and live twenty or thirty years longer than their villagers back home in Africa."

You can take the savages out of the jungle, but you can't take the jungle out of the savages. As a result of trying to help these poor souls, they unwittingly unleashed the "Black Plague" upon Western Civilization. The massive increases in crime, disease, and poverty that have swept across America and Europe in the wake of Third World immigration backs this up. I only hope that we can reach for the stars, before we're pulled down into the abyss.
