On the Lineage of African Slaves Who Came to North America Versus the Lineage of Those Who Remained Slaves In Africa

First of all we have to recognize that the slaves in Africa were treated far more brutally and so a lot of them didn't even produce a lineage (compare this to North America where the slave population flourished) but let's put that aside for now and ask ourselves, is there any place on the African continent in which blacks are currently better off than they are in the U.S.? The right answer of course is, no, and so maybe instead of trying to shake down guilt-ridden white folks for "reparations", we all try working together to build a less contentious and identity-driven society? Plan B, we could even call it.
