I guess you don't know your history. The first blacks on these shores were free men or here via indentured servitude and it remained that way for quite some time.

The Black American culture as we know it would have never been developed. Rock, pop and American music in general would be completely different and not as influential (throughout the world).

"They came before Columbus"The Black American culture as we know it would have never been developed. Rock, pop and American music in general would be completely different and not as influential (throughout the world).
Please shut up. -
this.
also America would probably be doing much worse economically. They were the richest country for a very long time because they were getting their labor done for free. Without slavery, the average american life would be a lot less comfortable.
America was built on the sweat of black folk. White ppl dont wanna admit it tho.
I think this only applies to the South and they were crippled economically when the North won and freed the slaves.Please shut up.
What do you disagree with? -

i can understand that.. but they would prolly have other strategies to build the country.. and all races would have to put work in... hopefully there still wouldnt be a race or fight for power... yet diving the people regardless... -

The question you posed is some romantic ? and Imma tell you why:
No culture on the face of the earth has been able to live side-by-side with the Europeon in peace.
It is in his nature to oppress and exploit, and he cant help shedding the Blood of people with color..history teaches us this.I think this only applies to the South and they were crippled economically when the North won and freed the slaves.
What do you disagree with?
Just jokin' with you but seriously "entertainment" was the first thing that popped in your head?? LOL. -

Dominant cultures have always subjugated the weaker, more vulnerable cultures, there's nothing special about Europeans. They just had the technological means to conquer the world. The Zulu would have probably done the same if they could.Just jokin' with you but seriously "entertainment" was the first thing that popped in your head?? LOL.
I see your point. -

are you saying that during slavery that america was the richest nation in the world? -

Actually this kinda sorta happened. You have to remember, not every black person in America was a slave, there were a lot of freed blacks in America. Also if you would want to get a picture of what things would've been like for blacks in America, study Reconstruction. I think it's fair to say that ? made more progress during Reconstruction, then they did following the Civil Rights Movement. If blacks were allowed to progress and assimiliate at the rate they did following Reconstruction, then we probably wouldn't have a lot of the racial and socitial problems we have now. -

What culture has lived in peace with the Europeon?? -
Chinese fought a few conflict against Britain and the Dutch. The Boxer rebellion for example.
However humans as a whole are violent. Almost all cultures on the planet fight wars with other cultures they come into contact. The Europeans were the most effective at warfare and became dominate over the last few centuries.
