Should Blacks in America be happy for slavery?

My goal in 2008 is to stay positive regardless of the idiots I come across. So on Friday when I recieved this disturbing article, I did not lose my cool, in fact I just smiled.

As you may or may not know the state of New Jersey is getting ready to issue an apology for slavery (it will be the first Northern state to do so). A republican assemblyman by the name of Michael Patrick Carroll does not think it is important to do so however. In fact he believes that if anything Blacks should be happy that slavery took them out of Africa. Apparently Carroll has no knowledge of how the repatriation efforts by people like Marcus Garvey were crushed by the U.S. Government. He obviously doesn't know the story behind a country like Liberia either.

Either the assemblyman is in denial or is just not intelligent enough to see that the majority of Africa's problems are a direct result of western colonization.

Here is the quote from what has to be the dumbest politician in the world.

"But, on a current note, if slavery was the price that a modern American's ancestors had to pay in order to make one an American, one should get down on one's knees every single day and thank the Lord that such price was paid. To the extent that America – or New Jersey – ever owed any kind of debt to anyone, that debt was more than repaid through the blood and suffering of 650,000 federal soldiers who died or were wounded during the war provoked by slavery. No one today need feel the slightest guilt, as no one today participated in the wrong." - Michael Patrick Carroll

Did Blacks get any benefits from slavery?
