The educated ones at least. There's lots of opportunities for investment and wealth generation in some of these countries. The only barrier is dealing with systemic corruption, but there are still opportunities in the private sector.

This is not really true, Blacks in LA have just been rendered invisible. And they live in poor countries(and most likely are the poorest ones), which makes it even harder to really do anything.

But on the other hand they have preserved African traditions a lot more than AA's and English speaking Caribbeans.

The Caribbean has actually held onto its African culture and traditions more than America. Down to the foods. Even the dialects they speak are littered with African words passed down from African slaves. People in Jamaica for instance use words that the Twi people in Ghana use today.

By the way what do you mean by LA?

Brazil is much better than all those places (with maybe the exception of Angola where alot of Brazilians and Portuguese have been relocating) and EQ is a fukking mess its basically the private estate of the ruling family

Yet we are one of the only ones who haven't been brainwashed to let go of our african ancestry

Its probably like Dominican Republic where they say they're not black, but everything is clearly influenced by the African roots.

Thats what i talking about, that 1.4 million mostly integrated into the larger white and native populations. How many Afro-Panamanians are there that arent of west indian descent?
I don't know. My moms dad's dad has roots from Barbados. But on my moms side at least as far back as 5 generations all were born in Panama. So don't know if they came from the West Indies or slave ships from the motherland.

And for my grandpas dad even he was born in Panama. His parents were from Barbados which is like my great great parents so don't no one really have a tie to Barbados. My grandpas mom people as far back as we know were born in Panama. So I don't know how or when the black people came I just know they are there now :yeshrug:.

When you look at the lingering social, political, and mental effect, The Atlantic Slave Trade might be the worst thing to ever happen in human history.

All the bloodshed, lost life, lost time, and the fact that racism is still taking lives today.

Remove the "might" and this is right on the money

So from 400k slaves in America, 3 centuries later we are 40 million strong?

I'll let someone good in math handle that...
