Oh, and I'd never call the American slaves weak. If anything, they were the strongest of our stock because they endured the most brutal form of slavery and oppression I'd say only the Congolese had it worse. The thing is, none of the damages of slavery have ever been addressed properly let alone even discussed.
Calvin Candy said it best
"all my life I've grown up around black faces, and one question always came to mind....why didn't they kill us?"

But it's like what some of the previous posters were stating, you have a bunch of already captured Africans in Africa, so the fighting skills are meh at best. Then you cram them into a boat and force them to roll around in their own sick and filth. You're talking about months on a slave ship with no where to go but over board for freedom. Then you take them to the islands where they went through "seasoning" in which they were physically and mentally broken down in order to be ready to pick cotton in the southern sun all damn day for free. Fear and trauma are great equalizers, one man with a gun had an entire movie theatre running for their lives. They didn't decide as a collective to bum rush dude and take his gun.
What I saying is that self preservation for most people is their first instinct. In a fight or flight situation, most people will choose flight.
Now lets go back to slave analogy, its akin to being kidnapped, where you hear stories about the victim being held hostage for so long that it becomes their new normal and the kidnapper can leave them by themselves and the victims wont run away. But then there are some that are like "fukk this, I'm out" and escape.
Natives might be dead, but they went out with heart.
Horses and guns are not native to the land, but they were smart enough to get all the above and bus the white mans ass with his own technology.

Exactly. But it wasn't like there wasn't revolts. Black people were free up North and of course many escaped.
John Brown was the most feared slave abolitionist in all of American history. He murdered more white men than any slave in history.
John Brown......was white.

Lets not act like them West Africans wasn't warring with each other and then selling us to the white man for some rum and other shytty goods. And then them motherfukkas got the nerve to try to look down on us, in todays society?
Physically, but mentality it created one of the most docile. Easily manipulated, easily controlled.

And do what exacty? Its a nice movie line but irl fukk out of here. The only thing a slave can possibly know about is Up "North" black people can be free. they ain't have access to maps, transportation, and Items essential for moving a community of slaves from Jacksonville to lets say Richmond(which would still have you fukked up) Wasn't no google search. or google maps back then. how far you gonna get in the winter with no place to stay and you are barely clothed. And what happens when you do inevitably come across a white city or settlement? Instantaneous death? enslavement for a second time? yall wilding.
